It looks like WWE is getting ready to shake things up with a brand-new faction. On March 3, 2025, the company officially filed a trademark for the name The Culling, hinting at a possible new stable making its way to WWE television.
The filing, submitted by WWE attorney Lauren A. Dienes-Middlen under US Serial Number 99064219, falls under the category of entertainment services, specifically wrestling exhibitions, performances, and media content. While WWE hasnt confirmed how The Culling will be used, the description strongly suggests its for a group of wrestlers rather than a standalone character.
The name itselfThe Cullingbrings up dark, ominous vibes, leading to speculation that this could be a faction with a brutal, no-nonsense style. Fans are already wondering if WWE is planning a major shakeup in its faction-heavy landscape, especially with dominant groups like The Judgment Day and The Bloodline still running strong.
At this point, WWE hasnt dropped any hints about who could be involved, but with WrestleMania 41 around the corner, this could be the start of something major.
Who do you think should be part of The Culling if it debuts on WWE TV? Drop your predictions in the comments!
