WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns is going to have one of his new gimmick officially trademarked for merchandise as the company filed a patent to the USPTO.

They filed a trademark for the item “Head of the Table” in relation to Reigns’ character on SmackDown. This is in addition to the existing ‘ Tribal Chief’ moniker that has seen him take over as the undisputed face in WWE.

The official statement from the office reads (h/t Wrestling Inc):

“The literal element of the mark consists of HEAD OF THE TABLE. The mark consists of standard characters, without claim to any particular font style, size, or color.”

Reigns is currently among the highest sales in merchandising, with his current range of t-shirts of the Tribal Chief. The company is looking to increase sales as this new trademark means that the branding for Reigns can increase further. The trademark is going to range from tops, shirts, jackets, sweatshirts, hoodies; outerwear etc. to bandanas.
