WWE has trademarked the term Invasion with the United States
Patent and Trademark Office for a possible upcoming event
between NXT and TNA.
The filing was done yesterday on September 24 by WWE’s
Senior Vice President and Assistant General Counsel of
Intellectual Property, Lauren A. Dienes-Middlen.
WWE is rumored to be using the Invasion name again for a
premium live event featuring NXT and TNA stars. TNA invaded
NXT on Tuesday night, interrupting the NXT vs TNA title-for-
title match in the main event. The show ended with TNA stars
standing tall in the ring after a massive brawl from both
rosters.
The company used the Invasion name for a pay-per-view in
July 2001 which saw several WWE vs WCW matches. The event
was held at the Gund Arena, now known as the Rocket Mortgage
FieldHouse in Cleveland, Ohio.
