New AEW show coming soon?
Nov 6, 2024
A new show from All Elite Wrestling could be coming soon.
AEW filed to trademark 'AEW Parade of Champions' and 'Parade of Champions' with the United States Patent and Trademark Office on November 5. The trademark filing was related to a "continuing program about wrestling accessible by radio, television, satellite, audio, video and computer networks."
The full trademark description reads:
"Educational and entertainment services, namely, a continuing program about wrestling accessible by radio, television, satellite, audio, video and computer networks; Entertainment services in the nature of live wrestling performances; Entertainment services in the nature of production of wrestling programs and events; Entertainment services, namely, an ongoing multimedia program featuring wrestling distributed via various platforms across multiple forms of transmission media; Entertainment services, namely, an ongoing series featuring wrestling provided through television and the internet; Entertainment services, namely, production and distribution of ongoing television programs in the field of wrestling."
The Parade of Champions were supercards promoted by World Class Championship Wrestling (under multiple different names) from 1961. The shows became an annual tradition from 1984 until 1988 following the passing of David Von Erich.
The Von Erichs are a part of AEW/Ring of Honor and Marshall and Ross Von Erich are the reigning ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Champions with Dustin Rhodes.
Another potential AEW show in the works is Shockwave but All Elite Wrestling have yet to agree on a deal with a TV network for the series.
