The company had previously applied to register XFL also for wrestling purposes on September 4, 2012. That application is still active, with WWE requesting an extension of time to file a 'Statement of Use', also on June 28th. The National Football League tried to oppose that application in 2014, but records do not indicate that they followed through.

Our old pal Sideshow Shan sent the following,...The Kevin Owens DVD was released today and it's completely sold out on Amazon. I preordered it a few days ago, but still ordered in advance and I just received an email that I won't get mine for more than 2 weeks, despite Amazon's promise that a pre-ordered item would arrive on the release date.
I just called three random Best Buys in NYC and all of them told me the set was sold out as well and they just opened an hour ago.
