How meaningful is this, do you all think? I mean, a lot of AEW wrestlers hold their own trademarks and sell their own merch on the side, but the fact that he’s doing this for a gimmick he isn’t using in AEW anymore is interesting, as well as the timing of him doing this while he’s been out on a long suspension. And these names in particular would also, by necessity, include Luchasaurus… And wasn’t the JE name coined in AEW?
Is AEW planning to reunite JE? Are Jack and Luchasaurus planning to leave the company? Is this a big nothingburger, and just Jack making sure he’s covered legally, and maybe trying to pick up some extra merch royalties from AEW (like Christian did in WWE with the Captain Charisma trademark)?
I could 100% see this totally being “I just wanna own the IP since no one else seems to be bothered so I can market merch and/or for later in our post-AEW careers if we reform on the indies” and nothing else.
…but with him returning soon(ish?) and Luchasaurus’s recent story beats with Christian I could also see a possibility of a post-Punk-post-Christian-reunion of the group. Whether that would work or not or be worthwhile, idk. I can’t buy Perry as a heel tho (yet) so I wouldn’t like…be mad just…confused lol.

My brain tends to land on nothingburger when it comes to trademark stuff until proven otherwise.
I wouldn’t hate if it was the first hint that he’s returning soon though.
