WWE has filed for more ring name-related trademarks.

The company filed for “Shawn Spears" and “Dijak” on March 7 under the entertainment services classification with The United States Patent and Trademark Office. Here is the description for the trademark:

“Mark For: DIJAK™ trademark registration is intended to cover the categories of entertainment services, namely, wrestling exhibitions and performances by a professional wrestler and entertainer rendered and through broadcast media including television and radio, and via the internet or commercial online service; providing wrestling news and information via a global computer network; providing information in the fields of sports and entertainment via an online community portal; providing a website in the field of sports entertainment information; fan club services, namely, organizing sporting events in the field of wrestling for wrestling fan club members; organizing social entertainment events for entertainment purposes for wrestling fan club members; providing online newsletters in the fields of sports entertainment; online journals, namely blogs, in the field of sports entertainment.”

Spears had been with WWE off and on for years as he first signed a developmental deal in 2006 and briefly worked on WWE's ECW brand in 2008 and 2009. Spears, under the Tye Dillinger name, went to NXT before going to the main roster. He departed in 2019, where he then went to AEW before finishing up last year, only to return last month to WWE under the Spears name.

Dijak made a name for himself as Donovan Dijak in ROH before signing with WWE in 2017, where he worked in NXT as Dominik Dijakovic. He was later moved to the main roster as T-Bar, only to return to NXT in November 2022.
