Buddy Matthews files for ‘Hell Hounds’ trademark after similar Brody King filing
Buddy Matthews filed to trademark the name “Hell Hounds” with the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) on Friday, January 17, 2025.
His filing was made two days after his House of Black stablemate Brody King applied to trademark a similar term. On January 15, King filed to trademark “Hounds of Hell” with the USPTO.
Matthews’ filing lists the purposes as “Advertising services, namely, promoting the goods and services of others; organizing fairs for commercial and advertising purposes; providing a searchable website featuring the goods and services of other vendors. Entertainment services, namely, wrestling exhibits and performances by a professional wrestler and entertainer.”
No attorney is listed on the filing. Rather, Matthews filed for the trademark himself under his real name, Matthew Adams, using an address in Plant City, Florida, the same town where Malakai Black and Zelina Vega’s Dark Arts gym is located.
Matthews and King appear to be staying together as a team after Black’s AEW departure. They are scheduled to wrestle The Gates of Agony on AEW Collision: Homecoming next Saturday. Another former House of Black member, Julia Hart, is set to wrestle Jamie Hayter on Dynamite.
