Actually they do. Even if WWE hasn't registered the trademark, they still have a common law trademark as the first to commercially use the phrase. WWE just doesn't have a registered statutory trademark on the phrase. The reason to register a trademark is that registration creates a legal rebuttable presumption that you were the first to commercially use and thus, own the trademark.
