Jinder Mahal Challenges WWE Over 'Maharaja' Trademark Rights

Ex-WWE champion filed with the US patent office for “The Maharaja” name twice in 2024 but was rejected for likely confusion with WWE’s “The Maharajah,” registered since 2017. He now petitioned to cancel WWE’s mark, arguing he used the name first in 2015 and the company filed under “false pretenses.” WWE has until February 3 to respond to the petition.
