Apparently WWE is in a legal battle over......YEET.

They had to blur Jeys shirt in a video package.

Wonder what issues they ran in to? Yeet isn't some trademarked term...? They literally have shirts that say "YES" and "WHAT" on them.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

For some reason I thought Natalya,Tegan had a tag match with Chelsea,Piper, which would've made Chelsea's segment way funnier too.

She was going on about how they're heading out for the night but decided to stay when she found out Natalya and Tegan had a match tonight (presumably Chelsea will be on commentary).

Now I'm just picturing Chelsea saying the same thing but not realizing the match is against her and Piper and only finds out when she's on commentary and they do the ring intros and introduce her while she's in the middle of doing commentary.

I'm quite curious what trademark issues they had over this. As you said, WWE sells shirts with "YES" and "WHAT" on them. Maybe they will get them worked out but at least from a storyline perspective, Roman said he doesn't like Yeet. Roman got Jey banned from using Yeet lol.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Feels weird to have CM Punk chants on WWE TV and it's not just fans being bored/drunk or trolling WWE (though they are chanting it against Rollins).

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

I like the booking of Drew McIntrye lately. Thats one thing that stands out for me on RAW. Been a very slow turn but you actually understand where he's coming from. He had a great match against Sami Zayn. Then the main event stuff. Rollins vs Jey Uso was good goo. But at this point, Main Event Jey Uso should be Main Event Jobber Jey Uso because all he does is job since gaining that nickname. It looks like this is a little feud for Drew until next month where I believe Drew will get to face Seth Rollins for the World Title.

This Cody/Shinsuke feud is a nice filler to bide time until next month as well. But I liked that Shinsuke got to use their past failure at winning the World Title as a catalyst for this filler feud. The rest of RAW had tag team matches. And a ton of them. Who was booking this show? Teddy Long? Playa playa playa! Is Nia Jax going to be the next filler feud for Rhea Ripley? Who will eventually dethrone Rhea? RAW was average this week.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Jey Uso's YEET shirts have been pulled from WWE Shop. Quite curious for those who pre-ordered the shirt, will they get a refund or still produce them to fill the orders?

Edit: Apparently some local wrestler nobody has heard of filed trademark for the word "Yeet" for use in wrestling. He got a lawyer and sent WWE a cease and desist on those shirts.

They filed it before or after WWE started selling merch?

Either way, that's so stupid. Surely WWE could've just paid them off somehow? Give them tickets to the Rumble or WM or something? Make them an extra on TV (like as security or a jobber)?

Whatever they would've paid that person definitely would be less than money made on merch.

I can guarantee that person will never have a better opportunity than now to profit off this.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Drew's character, which I think is now a hell, reminds me of prime heel Triple H or Randy Orton with the backstage attacks and viciousness. I can't remember a heel with that edge to him in a while.

R-Truth really thinks he's in Judgment Day.... they found their Sami Zayn lol. The day Truth makes them all break, especially Rhea will be awesome.

Really looking forward to the entry of CM Punk in tonight's SmackDown. There will surely be some Drama.

What a dumb ***. Could've settled with them and tried to get a nice check instead. [emoji2365]

Maybe he wasn't such a dumb *** after all?

Or Jey took it upon himself to settle the trademark dispute with him?
