TNA World Champion Mike Santana has filed to trademark his ring name ahead of his contract expiring this summer and with WWE said to interested.
It was reported a number of weeks ago that Santana’s contract was due to come up in the summer and there was interest from WWE in signing him.
On May 5, under his real name Mark Sanchez Jr, he filed to trademark his ring name, Mike Santana.
The filing was made with the following description:
Providing wrestling news and information via a global computer network; Entertainment services, namely, wrestling exhibits and performances by a professional wrestler and entertainer; Entertainment in the nature of wrestling contests; Entertainment services, namely, televised appearances by a professional wrestler and sports entertainer; Entertainment services, namely, personal appearances by a professional wrestler and sports entertainer; Entertainment services, namely, live appearances by a professional wrestler and sports entertainer; Providing online interviews featuring professional wrestler and sports entertainer in the field of professional wrestling and sports entertainment for entertainment purposes
Mike Santana Potentially Heading To WWE
As noted, WWE has reportedly been interesed in signing Mike Santana when his TNA contract comes up soon.
Santana is one of the TNA names who has appeared pretty regularly in NXT since the WWE/TNA partnership kicked off, and it wouldn’t be surprising for him to follow the same path as the likes of Joe Hendry and Jordynne Grace.
WWE does need to be mindful not to just deplete TNA of all of its stars in short order, especially if Matt Hardy’s theory about WWE partnering with TNA as an attempt to hurt AEW is true.
However, Santana is certainly a name worth making a play for if the interest goes both ways.
