Several WWE trademark filings have been denied due to a lack of written consent being provided from talent.
Heel By Nature obtained documents that were issued to WWE in February which include the filings that have been denied and confirmation that there was no written consent from the individual talent in question.
The trademarks will be abandoned if no written consent is provided in the next six months.
They are:
