They haven't had any competition or challenging them for 2 decades so that's expected

Let's calm down young bucks are big but challenging wwe? I'd say more of a very loud annoyance the wwe is a massive monopoly still.

Called protecting your ip. WWE believe it is theirs and don't want others making money off it. Standard practice. Two sweet isn't a legalised trademark and with the kliq and past bc members WWE believe they own the damn thing. Like saying a wow private server is competition to blizzard, it's not really it's their ip and they want it to stop but I doubt very much WWE see them as competition more of acquirable assists at this stage even if we all know YB have no plans on that.

It's kinda like Gene Simmons trying to trademark the horns.

Their IP was trademarked in 2015, bucks and NJPW used it in 2013. The hand gesture was big in Japan before they owned WCW, as well.

They only trademarked it when they got Finn and Gallows and Gun etc. They'd win the suit if they had the money to get tied up forever.
