Update On The Shelton Benjamin WWE Return Rumors

UPDATE: Well, so much for that. Looking in the trademark database for the Shelton Benjamin application referenced by 4-Traders reveals that the application is one that was cancelled and not applied for. The application was initially filed on April 19th, 2004 and WWE released their hold on that trademark on November 21st.

It is worth noting that it is only one of four trademarks for Benjamin in the Trademark database; this one in particular is for articles of clothing. A trademark for toys and action figures was cancelled on April 25th, while one for commemorative and collectible items is still live along with one for “entertainment services, namely wrestling exhibitions and performances by a professional wrestler and entertainer.” Both of those appear to have been active for years.

ORIGINAL: According to 4-Traders.com, WWE has filed a trademark for “Shelton Benjamin” for the use of merchandise. This could be a sign that the former Intercontinental, Tag Team and US Champion is headed back to WWE.
