WWE Brings SLAM CITY to Nickelodeon's NickSports Block on Nicktoons...

Written by James Zahn

WWE SLAM CITY is getting bigger. WWE and Nickelodeon have announced that WWESlam City™ is coming to Nicktoons, making it's entrance tomorrow night (10/22) during the NickSports programming block from 9–11 p.m. (ET) on Nicktoons. The 26-episode animated series has been featured here on THE ROCK FATHER before, and is comprised of two-minute shorts featuring WWE Superstars including John Cena, Randy Orton, Sheamus, The Miz, Rey Mysterio, Kane and Mark Henry in a new animated world. Check out a recent short featuring Daniel Bryan and Randy Orton below...

WWE Slam City, filmed in the next generation of stop-motion animation, features a new WWE animated character, The Finisher, who fires all of the WWE Superstars and sends them to WWE Slam City to find day jobs. With John Cena as an auto mechanic, Randy Orton as a zookeeper and Sheamus as a theater usher, these Superstars stay true to their WWE personas as they face life outside of the ring with new career challenges.

WWE Slam City has secured nearly 20 million views across a variety of platforms including WWEslamcity.com, Cartoonium, WWE Network, Hulu, Kabillion, Nintendo and AOL. Still, there's something to be said for reaching an audience through good old TV.

THE ROCK FATHER is a WWE Brand Ambassador - spreading the word about family entertainment from the WWE Universe.
