Why WWE Was Able To Use Their Old Logo On Raw?

For those who have asked about the legality of WWE using the old block WWF logo on Old School Raw Monday night, the answer is that the company is only prohibited from using the Attitude Era scratch logo.

As the result of losing a court battle with the World Wildlife Fund eight years ago, the wrestling company was no longer permitted to use the scratch logo or the WWF initials (hence the name change to WWE).

However, the block WWF logo – which the company was no longer using at the time of the legal dispute – and the “World Wrestling Federation” name can be used by WWE when referencing history.
