Seems to be a mix of nobody trademarked the gimmick while it was happening in Impact and like BrotherVito said, Impact pulling a WWE by claiming any gimmick/character used on their shows belongs to them. According to the sheets, trademarks only started getting filed around March.
WWE had a similar problem with Ryback recently in regards to the character which is why they tried to have his trademark filing rejected after he left and Ryback legally changing his name to fight back.
