The wrestling world is still reeling from Adam Copelands explosive return to AEW Dynamite, but the big news didnt stop there. Alongside his in-ring comeback and the unveiling of his new moniker, The Rated R Superstar Cope, fans now know the name is officially locked down. Pro wrestlings go-to intellectual property expert, Mike Dockins, took to Twitter after Dynamite to reveal that the trademark for Cope is officially secured.
Dockins, famously known as the Gimmick Attorney, shared a photo of himself and Copeland holding the trademark documentation. Great to see @RatedRCope back tonight! (And in general.) Congrats COPE , he tweeted, solidifying the wrestlers rebranding as more than just a creative choiceits now an intellectual property.
Dropping his full name for the streamlined Cope has sparked plenty of fan discussion. Copelands first match under the new name was a statement victory. Teaming up with FTR, the trio took down The Death Riders in a six-man tag match that ended with Cope pinning Wheeler Yuta after delivering a devastating spear. With his name officially locked in, its clear that Cope is starting 2025 with a fresh direction and renewed momentum.
Love it or hate it, Copes rebranding is making waves both in and out of the ring. Securing the trademark proves that Adam Copeland isnt just evolving as a wrestlerhes making power moves as a brand. With his AEW journey back on track, the question now is: whats next for The Rated R Superstar? Only time will tell.
