WWE appears to have officially locked in the name for NXT’s newest multi-generational faction.
The company has filed a trademark for “Birthright” under entertainment services as of February 11, signaling that the on-screen group of second and third-generation talent now has a formal identity.
The term hasn’t been subtle on television — members have repeatedly referred to success in WWE and NXT as their “birthright,” clearly laying the groundwork for the branding.
The core lineup currently consists of:
Lexis King (son of Brian Pillman)
Arianna Grace (daughter of Santino Marella)
Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo (aligned with Grace on-screen)
Charlie Dempsey (son of William Regal)
Uriah Connors (son of Fit Finlay)
The faction leans heavily into legacy, lineage, and entitlement — positioning themselves as natural heirs to the business rather than outsiders fighting for opportunity.
Several other names have been floated as possible fits:
Brooks Jensen — son of Bull Buchanan, who has recently teamed with Lexis King at live events.
David Finlay — brother of Uriah Connors and another son of Fit Finlay, reportedly available following his NJPW departure.
Elijah Holyfield — son of boxing legend Evander Holyfield, bringing cross-combat sports lineage to the concept.
The trademark filing description covers: “Entertainment services, namely, wrestling exhibitions and performances by a professional wrestler and entertainer rendered live and through broadcast media.”
But beyond the legal language, the concept is clear — this isn’t just a faction, it’s a statement.
In an era where WWE has leaned into second-generation stars (Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, etc.), Birthright taps directly into that narrative — but flips it into something more arrogant and self-assured.
If WWE fully commits, this could become one of NXT’s most layered faction concepts in years — built not on rebellion, but on inherited destiny.
