WWE has locked down a new trademark for special programming of NXT TV that will take place over the course of the next two weeks.

WWE filed for 'NXT Gold Rush’ on June 9th with the USPTO to trademark 'NXT Gold Rush.' The filing is intended to cover the categories of a show about professional wrestling.

The name dates back to 2012 when WWE had Dusty Rhodes announce a "Gold Rush" tournament in NXT to determine the first-ever NXT Champion, where there were four NXT stars and four main roster stars that ended in July with the finals seeing Seth Rollins going over Jinder Mahal in the finals. Here is the description of the filing:
The Filing

“Mark For: NXT GOLD RUSH trademark registration is intended to cover the categories of a show about professional wrestling; the production and exhibition of professional wrestling events rendered live and through broadcast media including television and distributed via various platforms across multiple forms of transmission media; providing wrestling news and information through broadcast media including television and distributed via various platforms across multiple forms of transmission media; providing information in the fields of sports through broadcast media including television and distributed via various platforms across multiple forms of transmission media; providing a website in the field of sports information.”

WWE has loaded up the card for next week’s show, featuring the main event of World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins defending against Bron Breakker. Here is the full card for that show:


World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins vs. Bron Breakker
North American Champion Wes Lee vs. Tyler Bate with Mustafa Ali as special referee
NXT Women's Champion Tiffany Stratton vs. Thea Hail
NXT Tag Team title number one contender's three-way match: Tank Ledger & Hank Walker vs. Josh Briggs & Brooks Jensen vs. Edris Enofe & Malik Blade
Dana Brooke vs. Cora Jade

In two weeks, the episode will wrap up NXT Gold Rush with NXT Champion Carmelo Hayes vs. Baron Corbin and Gallus defending the NXT Tag Team Titles against the winners of the three-way tag team match.
