WWE Blocks Bryan Danielson’s Attempt to Trademark “Yes Chant” Despite Apparent Availability

Bryan Danielson, known for his famous “Yes chant” during his WWE career, recently attempted to acquire the trademark for the phrase after learning it had become available. Despite no longer using the chant since joining AEW out of respect for WWE’s intellectual property, Danielson sought to gain complete ownership of the trademark.

However, upon applying for the trademark, Danielson received a legal letter from WWE claiming that his application was infringing on their copyright policies. This came as a surprise to Danielson, who explained in an interview that he wasn’t trying to profit from the trademark but simply wanted to “do his thing.” The wrestler expressed confusion over WWE’s response, given that the trademark was supposedly available when he applied for it.

The “Yes chant” played a significant role in Danielson’s WWE career, particularly during his build-up to WrestleMania 30. At that event, Danielson defeated Triple H and went on to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship by overcoming Randy Orton and Batista in the main event.
