Last weekend at Starrcade, WWE commentary started referring to Rusev as ‘Bad Boy Rusev’. Lana then called her real-life husband by the same nickname in a backstage promo.

For those of you who aren’t aware, AEW star Joey Janela is also referred to as ‘The Bad Boy’. It was speculated online that Janela might have to choose a different moniker if WWE decided to trademark it.

Responding to a report saying he trademarked the nickname ‘Bad Boy’, Janela apologised to Rusev.
