WWE has filed a trademark for the “Kliqâ€￾ hand gesture, which has been used by Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Triple H, Shawn Michaels and X-Pac over the years.

It’s also used by The Bullet Club, which could present some problems in the future. The Young Bucks are currently selling t-shirts here which include the gesture.

PWInsider

For what it's worth, Waltman has said on Twitter he has no issue with others using the gesture.

WWE clamping down HARD though.

I don't think this would hurt The Bullet Club too much. They can come up with something else if they need to.

How would this apply to when Hall/Nash/Sean appear on independent shows? I would hope that WWE wouldn't try to stop people from using their own hand gestures. It's silliness.

The Bullet Club are smart enough to make a shirt that say Two Sweet, just to stick it to the WWE lol.

It really is silly. No one uses it in current WWE.

It is such a blatant rip off. They should be embarrassed for being so unoriginal. I can't believe they got away with it so long.

The fans of NJPW like and it sells, that all that matters.

After listening to their theme music, I actually think WWE has a pretty strong case. It's so blatant. Not only does it use "too sweet," but it also opens with "4-Life."

Near the way end of the song, they even steal Roman Reigns' / Shield's "believe in / believe that."

Don't get me wrong I kinda dig the theme and the group seems bad ass, but it's a straight copy of the New World Order; probably the worst one since 1996.

There's something about the Young Bucks in particular that I really don't like, they come off as massive smarky douchebags.
