A variety of names were trademarked (image above) including:

AEW
Double or Nothing
Tuesday Night Dynamite

The “goods and services” section of the trademarks noted these items would be used for merchandise, live streaming PPV content and more.
The Young Bucks, Cody Rhodes, Kenny Omega, Chris Jericho and Jim Ross were all heavily rumored to be part of this venture, more so the Bucks, Rhodes and Omega with their current ROH and New Japan Pro Wrestling deals set to expire shortly.
Jericho and Ross have denied any involvement when asked about the rumors not long ago, while The Elite has expressed publicly that they would be sticking together when current contracts with Ring of Honor and New Japan finish up shortly.
