The World Wrestling Federation lost in court, and were forced to remove all visible (able to be seen) logos of "WWF." This is when WWE started the "Get The F Out" campaign. They just wanted to make the fans think that they were just changing the name of it, they didn't want to tell them that they've been sued. Anyways, WWE was given the name "WWF" back in 2010, but Vince McMahon said that WWE is the permanent name of the company.
