WWE Potentially Bringing Back Retired Pay-Per-View

Based on a new trademark filing made by WWE, it seems the company may be bringing back a retired pay-per-view.

On April 7, WWE filed to trademark ‘No Mercy’ with the United States Patent & Trademark Office.

The last No Mercy pay-per-view took place in 2017, seeing Roman Reigns beat John Cena, and Brock Lesnar retain the Universal Title over Braun Strowman in the main event.

The first No Mercy took place in May, 1999 in Manchester, England, main evented by Steve Austin retaining the WWF Championship over Triple H and Undertaker in a three-way match.

The trademark filing was made with the following description, which implies it could just be for merchandise purposes:

Clothing, namely, tops, shirts, jackets, sweatshirts, hoodies; outerwear, namely, coats; bottoms, pants, shorts, underwear, dresses, pajamas, lingerie, clothing ties, scarves, gloves, swimwear; Halloween and masquerade costumes; footwear, namely, shoes, sneakers, slippers, flip flops, boots; headwear, namely, hats, caps; wrist bands as clothing; bandanas

On the same day, WWE filed to trademark ‘Commander Azeez’, which looks likely to be someone’s new name:

Entertainment services, namely, wrestling exhibitions and performances by a professional wrestler and entertainer rendered live and through broadcast media including television and radio, and via the internet or commercial online service; providing wrestling news and information via a global computer network; providing information in the fields of sports and entertainment via an online community portal; providing a website in the field of sports entertainment information; fan club services, namely, organizing sporting events in the field of wrestling for wrestling fan club members; organizing social entertainment events for entertainment purposes for wrestling fan club members; providing online newsletters in the fields of sports entertainment; online journals, namely blogs, in the field of sports entertainment
