A newly formed faction has recently emerged on WWE programming, and its name appears to be confirmed. Over the past weeks on NXT TV, a group comprised mainly of second- or multi-generation wrestlers has come together, including Lexis King (son of Brian Pillman), Ariana Grace (daughter of Santino Marella), her boyfriend Channing Stacks Lorenzo, Charlie Dempsey (son of William Regal), and Uriah Connors (son of Fit Finlay). The members frequently emphasize that achieving success in WWE and NXT is their “birthright,” a phrase that seems deliberately chosen.
Supporting this, WWE has filed a trademark for the name “Birthright,” which is likely the official title of this new faction. The trademark description covers entertainment services related to professional wrestling, including live broadcasts, online content, fan clubs, and social events for wrestling enthusiasts. Potential additions to the group could include Brooks Jensen (son of former WWE star Bull Buchanan), who has recently appeared alongside Lexis King at live NXT shows, and David Finlay, Uriah Connors’ younger brother who recently left New Japan Pro Wrestling. Elijah Holyfield, son of boxing great Evander Holyfield and a second-generation martial artist, might also be a fitting member, especially given Evander’s previous WWE appearance in 2007.
Fan Take: This development is exciting for WWE fans as it underscores WWE’s commitment to highlighting wrestling legacies and storytelling through family ties. The “Birthright” faction could bring a fresh dynamic to NXT and WWE programming by blending heritage with new talent, potentially shaping the future of the sport.
