      “Apple” (the company) has trademarks such as the word “Apple”. And it only works in context of computers. Competitors in example can’t name themselves “Apple”, but you can have in a different buisness than computers a name that contains “Apple”, such as “Apple Hill Cider” or “Apple Leisure Group”. That would not violate the trademark. Trademarks are only a problem if its in the same business.

      Wrestling is not videogames (although there are videogames of it) and therefore cannot be confused with a videogame. So this could workout in theory.

          WWE makes a wrestling game ever single year.

          I already said they are doing videogames too “(although there are videogames of it)”. It does not mean they have to use the name “Vice City” in the game titles too. WWE itself is not videogames.
