Scooby-Doo! WrestleMania Mystery

Plot

Scooby-Doo and Shaggy Rogers conquer the toughest level of a WWE video game, earning a free trip to WWE City for WrestleMania. The rest of Mystery, Inc. tags along at their urging. Once there, they meet John Cena, who provides VIP tickets; his trainer, Cookie; and Cookie’s nephew, Ruben. During the event, Vince McMahon reveals the WWE Championship belt, which became available after Kane’s previous match was overturned.

Later, Daphne Blake and Velma Dinkley hear Ruben and Cookie arguing about Cookie’s failed wrestling career due to a leg injury. Meanwhile, a Ghost Bear attacks Shaggy and Scooby. Triple H and Brodus Clay try to stop it, but the monster overpowers them and vanishes.

The next morning, WWE executive Ms. Richards tells the gang the Ghost Bear has been terrorizing WWE City for weeks. McMahon asks them to solve the mystery to protect the championship belt.

Cena and Sin Cara explain the bear’s origin: over a century ago, Sin Cara’s ancestor, Sin Cara Grande, defeated it on the land that became WWE City. Enraged, the bear rampaged until Grande exiled it to a cave, costing him his leg and career. Cara worries WrestleMania has stirred the bear’s ghost for revenge.

Scooby is caught stealing the championship belt, but Velma proves he was under deep hypnosis. Ruben deduces the video game used flashing lights to implant post-hypnotic suggestions. Despite this, McMahon offers to drop charges if Scooby and Shaggy defeat Kane at WrestleMania, with crash-course training from Cookie and AJ Lee. The rest of the gang investigates the bear’s cave, finding a hidden room with hypnosis books, EMP device schematics, and a calendar confirming a plot against WrestleMania.

The Ghost Bear attacks, forcing them into a storm drain. Cena fights it off and realizes the drain leads under WWE City. After the gang tells Richards, Cookie urges canceling WrestleMania, but Fred Jones suggests using the event to solve the mystery.

During Scooby, Shaggy, and Kane’s match, Velma realizes the recovered belt is a replica containing the EMP device. Cena tries to remove it, but it activates, shutting down the underground generator. The Ghost Bear arrives and causes chaos. Wrestlers use pyrotechnics to light the arena while Scooby and Kane continue fighting.

When the monster attacks the ring, Scooby, Kane, Ruben, Cena, and Cara team up to defeat it. The Ghost Bear is revealed to be Cookie. Frustrated by his early career end, he used Scooby to steal the belt and tarnish WWE’s reputation. Cena retrieves the real belt, Cookie is arrested, and McMahon offers Ruben a spot on the WWE roster before awarding the belt to Scooby and Shaggy.
