Sometimes trademark filings can give us hints about new shows or projects that WWE has in development. According to PWInsider, WWE has filed for two interesting new trademarks. The trademarks are both for something that is going to be called “WWE VIP”.
Below are the descriptions of both trademark filings:
“G & S: Television broadcasting services; cable television broadcasting services; satellite television broadcasting; communications services, namely, transmitting streamed sound and audio-visual recordings via the Internet, cable networks, wireless networks, satellite, interactive multimedia networks and mobile apps; audio and video broadcasting services over the Internet and mobile apps; transmission of information in the audio-visual field; mobile media services in the nature of electronic transmission of entertainment media content; podcasting services; webcasting services; subscription-based video streaming service; video-on-demand transmission services”

PWInsider speculates that it could maybe have to do with the rumored tiered version of the WWE Network. Or it could be for VIP experiences at WWE live events. What do you think it is?
Speaking of the WWE Network, two independent promotions are rumored to be heading to the Network soon.
God damnit! They’re doing that tier system BS! I only watch it for PPV anyways. Now they’re gonna charge me more for being a day one loyal customer?
