SHOOTING DOWN A DUMB RUMOR, MEET LA KNIGHT FRIDAY & MORE

By Mike Johnson on 2024-07-15 21:22:00

For those asking about a rumor that WWE is going to allow talents to retain their ring names if and when they leave WWE, there's nothing to that claim.  If a talent has ownership of a name (whether it be their own name or intellectual property they created prior to WWE), they retain the rights if and when they leave WWE, but license the use to WWE while they are under contract.  Example: CM Punk.  If a ring name is created under WWE's auspices, WWE owns and retains that trademark.  Example: Seth Rollins.    We try to avoid even mentioning rumors so we don't give them any credence, but the amount of emails about this today were ridiculous.

LA Knight will be taking part in a meet and greet this Friday 7/1 in Omaha, Nebraska at 10 AM at Omaha Wine, Beer and Spirits (3435 Oak View Drive).

WWE will return to Manchester, England at Co-Op Live on 10/16.  Tickets will go on sale this Friday 7/19.
