New Nickname For Paul Heyman Revealed In New WWE Trademark Filing
Seth Rollins aligned with Paul Heyman at WrestleMania 41. This immediately followed Heyman's shocking betrayal of his Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns, and CM Punk. The next night on WWE RAW, their alliance grew stronger with the addition of Bron Breakker. A short time later, former Rollins enemy Bronson Reed joined the fold.

In addition to his allegiances shifting, it appears that Paul Heyman also has a new nickname.
WWE filed a new trademark for 'The Oracle' with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) on Monday. The trademark is intended to be used for:
'Entertainment services, namely, wrestling exhibitions and performances by a professional wrestler and entertainer rendered live and through broadcast media including television and radio, and via the internet or commercial online service; providing wrestling news and information via a global computer network; providing information in the fields of sports and entertainment via an online community portal; providing a website in the field of sports entertainment information; fan club services, namely, organizing sporting events in the field of wrestling for wrestling fan club members; organizing social entertainment events for entertainment purposes for wrestling fan club members; providing online newsletters in the fields of sports entertainment; online journals, namely blogs, in the field of sports entertainment'
As it happens, 'The Oracle' is the name that Seth Rollins used to describe Paul Heyman on this week's episode of WWE RAW. So, it would appear that Heyman will be referred to as 'The Oracle' much like he previously used the Wiseman and Advocate monikers.

What's next for Seth Rollins' stable?
Seth Rollins' stable took out LA Knight on last week's episode of WWE SmackDown. Fans speculate that Rollins' group is primed for a showdown with Roman Reigns once he returns.
Cory Hays of Bodyslam.net recently reported that WWE has internally discussed expanding Rollins' faction with additional members. He noted that officials considered two current NXT stars for the faction.

WWE Strikes $1.6 Billion USD Deal With ESPN
Summary In a landmark agreement that reshapes the sports entertainment landscape,WWEhas finalized a multi-year deal withESPN, granting the Disney-owned company exclusive U.S. domestic streaming rights to all WWE Premium Live Events. The deal, valued at $1.6 billion USD over five years, marks a significant strategic victory for WWE and a pivotal move for ESPN's ambitious new streaming service. The agreement, which begins in 2026, will see all of WWE's marquee events—includingWrestleMania, SummerSlam, Royal Rumble and Survivor Series—move exclusively to ESPN's platforms in the U.S. This marks a major shift from WWE's current partnership with NBCUniversal's Peacock, which is set to expire in March 2026. This move aligns WWE's distribution model more closely with that of the UFC, which has seen immense success under the ESPN banner. For ESPN, the deal is a cornerstone of its new direct-to-consumer (DTC) streaming service, which is launching on August 21st at a price of $29.99 USD per month. WWE's 'immense, devoted and passionate fanbase' is a key draw, with ESPN Chairman Jimmy Pitaro noting that the addition of WWE's biggest events will bolster their content portfolio and 'drive our streaming future.' The statement reads, 'WWE has an immense, devoted and passionate fan base that we're excited to super-serve on our new ESPN DTC platform. This agreement, which features the most significant WWE events of the year, bolsters our unprecedented content portfolio and helps drive our streaming future.' The deal not only grants ESPN the rights to the premium live events themselves but also the opportunity to stream pre- and post-show content, fully integrating WWE into its sports media ecosystem. Mark Shapiro, president and chief operating officer of TKO said, 'We are proud to reinforce the 'E' in ESPN at such an exciting juncture in its direct-to-consumer journey. WWE Premium Live Events are renowned for exactly the type of rich storytelling, incredible feats of athleticism and can't-miss, cultural tentpole experiences that have become synonymous with ESPN. Through our UFC relationship, we have experienced firsthand how transformational an ESPN presence can be, and we know this will be an exceptional partnership at a time of great innovation for both companies.' This partnership is part of a larger, aggressive push by ESPN to secure high-profile live event rights ahead of its new streaming service. The company recently finalized a deal with the NFL, which includes an equity stake for the league in exchange for media assets, and is reportedly in talks with Major League Baseball for a new rights package. The WWE deal, therefore, positions ESPN as a formidable force in the streaming wars, leveraging a wide range of live sports and entertainment to attract a diverse audience. While the deal is a massive financial success for WWE, it comes with a potential challenge for fans. The new ESPN streaming service will cost $29.99 USD per month, a significant increase from the $10.99 USD monthly price WWE fans currently pay for Peacock's unlimited plan. However, reports suggest that existing cable and satellite subscribers who receive ESPN as part of their package may be able to access the new WWE content at no additional cost through authentication. This development sets the stage for a new era of WWE viewing, where a single, dedicated platform becomes the exclusive home for all of the company's biggest events.

Grayson Waller Is In The Best Shape Ever After Dropping A Huge Amount Of Weight
Grayson Waller feels like a new man. Austin Theory and Grayson Waller have been teaming as 'A-Town Down Under' for the better part of two years now. However, WWE teased their split and an eventual feud for the past several months. Despite the tease, the duo never broke up and feuded. In fact, the 'official' split took place off camera, and it happened without much of an explanation. Last week, Waller sent a message to 'all five' of Austin Theory's fans on social media. (This was after Waller tried to join The New Day on WWE RAW.) Waller says Theory's fans should thank him for saving Theory's career after John Cena buried him on WWE RAW two years ago. 'Big G' said he wasted two years making Theory relevant, but that's over now. Now, Waller has continued taking shots at Theory on social media. Waller joked that he's in the best shape of his life now that he has dropped '220 lbs of dead weight.' Theory is reportedly out with an injury. His last match was a loss to El Grande Americano on the July 17 episode of WWE Main Event. A-Town Down Under's last match was a win over the LWO on the May 26 episode of Main Event. In May, Waller also shared his frustrations with Theory on The Amin Show. Waller said that Theory is a good guy, but he lacks a certain killer instinct. 'For right now, we are working as a team. Maybe he's not working the same way that I am. I think the problem with Austin Theory is that he's a good guy. He's not what people assume he is, and that kind of frustrates me at times, like he's not willing to do whatever it takes. We're walking into the venue, and he wants to stop and take photos with the kids and the fat blokes with the black shirts on. That's just not me. I'm there to work, I'm there for myself, and sometimes we don't see eye to eye. But the problem is, we're both supremely talented, so as a tag team, we work pretty well,' Grayson Waller said.
