Over the past few days, WWE has applied for a number of trademarks with the USPTO for entertainment-related uses.
Michael Cole, Byron Saxton, Kayla Braxton, Ryan Tran, Megan Morant, Mike Rome, Gunther, Mr. Stone, and Maxxine Dupri were among the names mentioned. Here is the description:

Robert Stone, who currently manages Von Wagner on NXT 2.0, is known as Mr. Stone. WWE SmackDown’s episode on Friday is scheduled to feature Dupri’s debut.
The current WWE Intercontinental Champion, Gunther, was formerly known as WALTER. Before he joined the main roster this year, where he has been well-booked, WWE changed his name.
