Late last year, AEW made headlines by filing trademarks for names like “Maximum Mayhem,” “Maximum Combat,” and “Maximum Carnage,” though only “Maximum Carnage” was eventually used for its January events on “Dynamite” and “Collision.” A year later, new filings have surfaced. According to PWInsider, AEW recently applied for trademarks on “Watch AEW,” “AEW Tidal Wave,” “AEW Blitz,” “AEW Firestorm,” and “AEW Fire.” Interestingly, while the latter four seem intended for television programming, “Watch AEW” may be linked to streaming services, indicating it could become AEW’s potential streaming platform, though details remain uncertain.
It’s unclear whether “Tidal Wave,” “Blitz,” “Firestorm,” and “Fire” will be event names or if, like some previous trademarks such as “Maximum Mayhem,” “Maximum Combat,” and the notable “AEW Shockwave,” they won’t come to fruition. AEW is scheduled to film several themed episodes for “Dynamite” and “Collision” in December, featuring titles like “Winter Is Coming,” “Holiday Bash,” “Dynamite on 34th Street,” “Christmas Collision,” and “New Year’s Smash.” However, these new trademarks won’t be in use until at least 2026.
Fan Take: This trademark news signals AEW’s ongoing commitment to innovation and expansion in both event branding and digital accessibility. For fans, it hints at exciting new content and possibly a dedicated streaming service that could change how they experience AEW wrestling, keeping the sport fresh and engaging.
