WWE recently trademarked the names of several WWE stars. That includes Marina Shafir, Dakota Kai, Xia Li, and more. This is standard practice for WWE and nothing out of the ordinary.
What was out of the ordinary though is WWE misspelling the name of Io Shirai in their trademark filing.
WWE applied for ‘Lo Shirai’, instead of ‘Io Shirai’. Here is a screenshot:
I couldn't believe WWE got Shirai's name wrong until I looked it up myself. https://t.co/YLLRVylRze pic.twitter.com/XbKMDAmRk9
