The series, 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 Slam City to find day jobs. WWE Superstars are plunged into new career challenges as they pack every street corner with work to do and scores to settle.

Daniel Bryan, The Miz, Big Show, Brock Lesnar, Santino Marella and Damien Sandow are still jobless but Santino and Sandow are the most desperate to find one. WWE Legends Stone Cold and The Rock are also featured in Slam City. These Superstars have a new life outside the ring, but still stay true to their WWE personas. The 'Stretch Move' feature of Slam City characters is highlighted in WWE Slam City.[2][3][4]
