I think you're misunderstanding here, WWE isn't being told they're just not allowed to trademark it, they're being told they can't use it at all. They had to blur a 'yeet' shirt in a promo last night. So someone else seemingly has successfully trademarked Yeet or is disputing that they have
Ah then they will just the buy the rights from the person who owns like they always do lol

Wonder if it was what some called a ghost trademarker, which is someone who sees soemthing being used by a huge company and then trademarks it before them
