It is not yet known how WWE will use the term or which spelling variation they will go with. WWE often files multiple trademarks on multiple variations of a name. They recently did this when Nikki Cross became Nikki A.S.H
Adam Pearce, a current WWE on-camera official, was known as "Scrap Iron" during his days as a wrestler. He trademarked that term recently. Learn more here.
