We now know why WWE recently applied to trademark the term “PJ Vasa.”
On September 28, WWE made a trademark filing for “PJ Vasa” — which appeared to be the new name for an NXT talent. That’s now been confirmed with Performance Center recruit Penina Tuilaepa revealing that the moniker is for her. She posted a tweet about the new name and also updated her social media accounts to reflect the change.
