A trademark filing for "Vice City" submitted by WWE on August 4, 2026 briefly caused confusion online, with some assuming it was somehow connected to GTA 6's fictional setting.
The filing, however, has nothing to do with Rockstar or Grand Theft Auto. It covers wrestling and live sports entertainment services specifically — things like wrestling exhibitions, broadcasts, fan club services, and newsletters — not video games or entertainment media in the sense GTA fans might assume.
It's a reminder that trademark filings using recognizable place names or phrases don't always relate to the property most associated with them. As of publishing, the filing remains under review, and there's no indication it has any bearing on GTA 6 or Rockstar's own trademarks.
