AJ Styles, whose real name is Allen Jones, has filed to renew trademarks for “The Phenomenal AJ Styles” and the P1 logo ahead of his scheduled match against Gunther at the 2026 WWE Royal Rumble PLE. The renewal filing was made on January 28, 2026, as Styles prepares for the high-profile event.
Details of Trademark and Its Usage
The trademark covers several services under the Goods and Services category, including
“providing wrestling news and information via a global computer network; entertainment services, namely, wrestling exhibits and performances by a professional wrestler and entertainer; entertainment in the nature of wrestling contests; entertainment services, namely, televised appearances by a professional wrestler and sports entertainer; entertainment services, namely, personal appearances by a professional wrestler and sports entertainer; entertainment services, namely, live appearances by a professional wrestler and sports entertainer; providing online interviews featuring professional wrestler and sports entertainer in the field of professional wrestling and sports entertainment for entertainment purposes.”
Context of Wrestler Trademark Ownership
In WWE, the company typically holds trademarks related to the wrestlers, but there have been exceptions where individual performers maintain their own trademark rights. AJ Styles maintaining these trademarks aligns with such cases where wrestlers retain personal control over their brand and identity in sports entertainment.
