AEW has filed applications with the United States Patent and Trademark Office to trademark both “Redemption” and “AEW Redemption” as professional wrestling event names, with the filings dated Monday, April 13, 2026. The trademark descriptions indicate the filings cover professional wrestling events, live performances, production of wrestling programs and events, and distribution of ongoing television programs in the field of professional wrestling.
No information has been provided about what specific purpose the filings would serve or whether a Redemption event is currently being planned. AEW regularly files trademarks for various television specials and events, though not all trademark filings ultimately result in a product being released. Earlier this year, AEW filed to trademark “Exile on Pain St.” but has not yet used that name in any form. The Redemption filings join a growing list of trademark activity that suggests AEW is actively developing new event branding for the second half of 2026.
