WWE has filed another trademark, this time for a new wrestler name that’s left everyone curious.
According to a new filing from WWE with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, WWE has filed a trademark for “Bakusai.” Like most of WWE’s trademark requests, it covers all goods and services related to wrestling, including “entertainment services, namely, wrestling exhibitions and performances by a professional wrestler.”
Currently, it remains unclear exactly who this is meant to be for, though. There’s not any current stars who seem to be switching up their names, and have been no rumors about a star arriving anytime soon. For what it’s worth, the term “bakusai” is a Japanese one, that roughly translates into “blasting to pieces.”
Could this mean one of the WWE’s many Japanese stars is switching up their persona or using some sort of new slogan? The most popular theory as of now is that it might relate to former New Japan Pro-Wrestling star Hiromu Takahashi.
The star left NJPW earlier this year, and rumors suggested he would be following his friend EVIL to WWE. EVIL debuted on NXT earlier this year, but Takahashi has yet to even tease that he might have a new destination.
