The company filed for “Ludwig Kaiser,” and “Raquel Rodriguez” on April 9th under the entertainment services classification with The United States Patent and Trademark Office. Here is the description:

On this same show, Raquel was also called up and appeared in a backstage segment Los Lotharios walked in and tried to get a kiss out of her but she declined. She had just lost the NXT Women’s Tag Team Titles alongside Dakota Kai to Toxic Attraction on Tuesday’s NXT 2.0 episode.
