Background

From 1994–2000, World Championship Wrestling (WCW) held a series of pay-per-view shows called WCW Bash at the Beach. The World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) purchased WCW in 2001 and acquired their intellectual property, including the trademark for Bash at the Beach. In 2004 and 2005, WWE allowed this trademark to expire. Cody Rhodes trademarked several terms including "Bash at the Beach" on March 18, 2019,[5][6] due to its creation by his father Dusty Rhodes.[7] Rhodes commented on these filings stating they were personal and most would not be used by AEW.[8] However, November 18, 2019, All Elite Wrestling (AEW) announced that the January 15, 2020 episode of Dynamite would be titled AEW Bash at the Beach as part of the ten-day event from Coral Gables, Florida and the Norwegian Pearl cruise ship from Norwegian Cruise Line.[9] In August 2020 Cody's trademark was officially denies.[10]

Storylines

Bash at the Beach featured professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portrayed heroes, villains, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.[11] Storylines were produced on The Young Bucks' YouTube series Being The Elite and AEW's weekly shows Dynamite and Dark.

gollark: * for reasons, but ones which were somewhat bad
gollark: Well, our negotiation team managed to make it work.
gollark: You could come to sort of mutually agreeable solution.
gollark: Just ceasing to interact with someone isn't a great solution for actually handling conflict.
gollark: Also, it would probably be better if you could, you know, have remediation between people instead of saying "hmm you do not exist now".
