WWE’s recent “Myka Lockwood” trademark appears to be more than a routine filing. BodySlam was first to report that the name is meant for Bayley Humphrey, and that report quickly gained weight when Fightful and F4WOnline noted that Humphrey herself confirmed the name on social media.
The bigger story here is not a random rename. It is that Humphrey now appears to have her official WWE ring name, a strong sign that her presentation is being finalized as she moves closer to an eventual television debut.
That makes this a meaningful step for one of WWE’s more intriguing developmental prospects. Humphrey entered the system through WWE’s Next In Line program in December 2023, where the company identified her as its first acrobatics athlete in NIL. Before WWE, she built her background at Baylor University, giving her the kind of size, strength, and athletic profile the company has increasingly targeted through its recruiting pipeline.
Humphrey became more familiar to fans through the first two seasons of WWE LFG, where she stood out less as a finished product and more as a prospect with clear upside. She was part of Team Undertaker in the first season, returned for season two, and consistently came across as someone WWE saw real potential in even while she was still developing. That is what made one of the defining moments of her LFG run resonate. During season one, Undertaker told Humphrey he believed she would “revolutionize the business,” and Humphrey later said the comment that hit her most was him telling her she would change the face of women’s wrestling.
Those words matter now because this trademark filing fits that same long-term picture. Humphrey has already had the NIL recruitment path, the signing, and the LFG showcase. What she had not yet fully had was a complete WWE identity. “Myka Lockwood” looks like that next piece. It is the kind of move that suggests WWE is no longer just developing Bayley Humphrey behind the scenes, but preparing how it wants the audience to eventually meet her.
It is a clear indicator that Bayley Humphrey’s next phase in WWE is taking shape and that the former LFG standout is one step closer to arriving on our screens.

I’m the quiet one until the bell rings then I’ve got takes. I live for WWE NXT and TNA, I want every promotion to succeed, and I will absolutely roast the bad decisions on sight (because someone has to). Anime taught me to respect long-term storytelling; wrestling taught me that sometimes the plan is “we panicked” and called it “unpredictable.” The Miz got me into all of this, so yeah I appreciate confidence, commitment, and the art of talking like you’re already the main event. Now I bring that same energy to the page as the main writer for Late Night Crew Wrestling because if you’re not here to be must-see and tell the truth, why are you here?!
