WWE Files To Trademark 'SuperBrawl'

WWE have recently filed a trademark for ‘SuperBrawl’, prompting speculation that the former WCW pay-per-view event name may be revived by the sports entertainment giant.

SuperBrawl was one WCW PPV name that WWE have owned and lost the trademark rights to over the years, having originally acquired it with their buy-out of WCW in 2001. Cody Rhodes previously acquired the trademark for the name in 2019, before abandoning it in 2020, with Rhodes having also gained the trademarks for Bash at the Beach, and ‘The Match Beyond’ during his time as an All Elite Wrestling EVP.

WCW hosted 11 SuperBrawl events during its lifetime, with the inaugural event seeing Ric Flair unify the WCW and NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championships after defeating Tatsumi Fujinami. The SuperBrawl Revenge show in February 2001 was the penultimate PPV event before WCW’s closure.

WWE have revived several WCW pay-per-view names in recent years, with NXT Halloween Havoc a fixture for the black and gold brand, whilst Starrcade returned as special house show events from 2017 until 2019. WWE previously used the Great American Bash name during the Ruthless Aggression era and have since used it in NXT - another WCW holdover.
