It’s worth noting that WWE’s acquisition of these trademarks does not necessarily mean that they will immediately start using them. Trademarks are often secured as a way to protect intellectual property and prevent other companies from using similar names or concepts.
However, WWE has a history of resurrecting old pay-per-view event names. In the past, they have brought back events like Starrcade, WarGames, and The Great American Bash. So it’s not out of the realm of possibility that we could see Cyberslam, Barely Legal, and Massacre on 34th Street make a return in the future.
