Pro Wrestling Sheet are reporting that WWE sent a cease and desist order to The Young Bucks, ordering the NJPW/ROH tag-team to stop using the 'Too Sweet' hand gesture in other companies and on merchandise.

This appears to be a reaction to the Bullet Club's 'invasion' of Raw on Monday. Right before WWE's flagship program aired, The Young Bucks, Cody Rhodes, Adam Page and Marty Scurll emerged from a stretch limo to cut promos in front of fans queuing for Raw.

Now, the company are legally pursuing The Bucks for using what they consider WWE's intellectual property. In the letter sent, WWE demanded the team stop using the 'Too Sweet' gesture immediately. If the brothers continue to do so, WWE claim they could be hit with a hefty $150,000 punishment for damages.

It's not clear at this time whether or not The Young Bucks plan to fight WWE's cease and desist order, but they are said to be receiving legal advice of their own on the matter. Right now, WWE's wish is that The Bucks stop using 'Too Sweet' in-ring and on merchandise. They also want written confirmation from the team that they'll never use it again.
