‘Tis the season for wrestling trademarks, folks! AEW is decking the halls—and the trademark office—with a pair of new event names that scream holiday cheer. On November 18, the company filed for “Dynamite on 34th Street” and “Christmas Collision”—a move that could transform their December programming into a winter wonderland of suplexes, snowflakes, and headlocks under the mistletoe.
Let’s break it down: If these trademarks stick, it seems AEW might ditch their usual trio of end-of-year specials—“Winter Is Coming,” “Holiday Bash,” and “New Year’s Smash”—in favor of some fresh holiday branding. However, “Winter Is Coming” isn’t going anywhere. The beloved special will return December 11, marking the first time it’s held outside Texas. Kansas City, congratulations—you’re getting some frosty action this year.
But here’s the kicker: There’s buzz that AEW might be spending the holidays in New York City, with rumors swirling around back-to-back events at the legendary Hammerstein Ballroom. With the ROH Final Battle pay-per-view and the December 21 Collision potentially slated for the iconic venue, it’s not hard to imagine AEW staying put to turn Manhattan into its personal holiday headquarters. Imagine the potential crossover: Christmas in the Big Apple, AEW-style, with “Dynamite on 34th Street” stealing the show.
Oh, and did we mention AEW’s nostalgia kick? The company also recently filed for “Parade of Champions,” a nod to the historic WCCW event created by Fritz Von Erich. With the Von Erich family’s continued presence in wrestling, this trademark feels like the perfect bow on AEW’s trademark gift box.
What will these new trademarks deliver? Holiday chaos? A match under a Christmas tree? Santa getting superkicked? One thing’s for sure—AEW’s got the holiday spirit, and they’re ready to wrestle it into existence.
