I assume it’s a new tag team, or something along those lines. This makes it so a rival promoter can’t use the same name for a different tag team, or sell competing merchandise. That sort of thing. Someone could still open “Vice City Coffee Co.” and sell shirts and it wouldn’t be directly competing with them at all.
Another big reason why they do this, is now WWE owns the name of the tag team. So if the wrestlers leave for a rival promotion, they can’t use the name anymore. WWE doesn’t let wrestlers use their own name anymore, it needs to be a new name that WWE gets to copyright. “Roman Reigns” is a copy protected character owned by WWE.
WWE currenty has a wrestler Superstar going by Lola Vice and Vice City has been used in relation to her. She recently left their developmental brand and is heading to the main roster, so WWE will probably be selling Vice City shirts to fans.
Still, to what end?

I hate Eric Bischoff but I loved that era. NWO was one of the funniest things I’d ever seen.
They should bring that back for Halloween or something.
