WWE files trademark for new Paul Heyman nickname
WWE has filed a trademark for “The Oracle” — the nickname Paul Heyman is now going by after aligning with Seth Rollins and ditching Roman Reigns.
The filing was made on Monday (June 23), with Rollins also referring to Heyman as “my Oracle” on Raw that night. It’s a new title for Heyman after he was previously called an Advocate when he managed Brock Lesnar and a Wise Man when he managed Reigns.
WWE’s trademark application lists that it is for goods and services related to performances by a professional wrestling personality:
Entertainment services, namely, wrestling exhibitions and performances by a professional wrestler and entertainer rendered live and through broadcast media including television and radio, and via the internet or commercial online service; providing wrestling news and information via a global computer network; providing information in the fields of sports and entertainment via an online community portal; providing a website in the field of sports entertainment information; fan club services, namely, organizing sporting events in the field of wrestling for wrestling fan club members; organizing social entertainment events for entertainment purposes for wrestling fan club members; providing online newsletters in the fields of sports entertainment; online journals, namely blogs, in the field of sports entertainment
One definition of the word oracle is “a person giving wise or authoritative decisions or opinions.”
Heyman turned against both Reigns and CM Punk at WrestleMania 41, helping Rollins defeat them in a triple threat match. Heyman now manages a faction that consists of Rollins, Bron Breakker, and Bronson Reed.
Rollins is in possession of the Money in the Bank briefcase and can cash it in for a title shot of his choosing at any point over the next year. His full promo from last night’s Raw can be watched below:
