AEW has filed a new trademark, which appears to be the name of an upcoming tag team.
On Monday, February 23, 2026, AEW filed an application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to trademark the term “Paid in Full,” which potentially could be the name of a new tag team. However, the company hasn’t revealed any details about the new team.
The USPTO has accepted the application, which is awaiting assignment to an examining attorney.
“Conducting entertainment exhibitions in the nature of professional wrestling exhibits and performances by professional wrestlers, namely, performances by a tag team of wrestlers during professional wrestling events; Entertainment services in the nature of live professional wrestling performances,” the description of AEW’s application read.
AEW also applied for four trademarks in November 2025, and one for a potential new event name last month.
AEW’s Thunder Rosa reacted to a hateful anti-immigration message she received
Former AEW Women’s World Champion Thunder Rosa took to X/Twitter to react to a hateful message someone sent to her. She said people can be passionate about wrestling, but it’s never alright to dehumanize anyone based on their names or where they’re from.
“I want to address something real,” the AEW star began. “I received a hateful message. The kind that doesn’t critique my work, but it really attacks who I am and where I came from. I’m not going to repeat it. I’m not going to give this guy more oxygen. But I will say this. In the United States right now, a lot of people are being treated like suspects, not because of what they’ve done, but because of their names, their accents, or the place that they came from. That is not strength. That is fear dressed up as power.
“I am Thunder Rosa, and yes, I’m proud to be Mexican, and yes, I am proud to be from Tijuana. And I have earned every step I’ve taken in this business with discipline, sacrifice, and love for wrestling. If you don’t like my matches, my promos, my style, that’s your right. Wrestling is a passionate sport. Debate is part of it. But dehumanizing people, threatening them, turning them into immigrants, and into a punchline, that’s not fandom. That’s hate.
“So here’s my message to the locker room, to the audience, and to everyone listening. We can keep wrestling tough without being cruel,” the former AEW Women’s World Champion continued. “We can be loud without being dangerous, and we can protect this community by refusing to normalize intimidation. And to my Thunder army, don’t spread hate to clap back. Don’t share it, don’t repost it. Report it.
“Stand up for each other because the ring is where we fight. Not the comments, not someone’s identity. I’m not going anywhere. I’ll keep showing up for the people who see themselves in me and for the fans who believe wrestling is for everyone,” the AEW star said.
