This film isn’t just about Scooby and the gang getting caught up in a wrestling feud – it’s about them unmasking a sinister plot lurking beneath the glitz and glamor of Wrestlemania. The gang gets unexpectedly swept into the world of professional wrestling when they are invited to attend Wrestlemania.

The Mystery Begins: A Wrestlemania of Mischief
The Gang Gets Gimmicked
When the gang arrives at Wrestlemania, they’re greeted by the vibrant energy of the wrestling world. They meet a cast of colorful characters, including the mega-popular wrestler, The Big Show, along with a handful of other wrestling superstars. But as the gang gets more involved with the event, they start noticing strange occurrences. The wrestlers are behaving oddly, and the entire atmosphere of Wrestlemania seems to be shifting from fun excitement to something more sinister.
We quickly learn that the real Wrestlemania is being sabotaged by a mysterious masked wrestler. The masked man, known as the Phantom Wrester, is aiming to bring the entire event to a standstill. His goal? To take control of the wrestling world. The gang soon finds themselves in the middle of this escalating chaos, running from the clutches of the Phantom Wrester and attempting to uncover the truth.
The Clues: An Unmasking of Villainy
Scooby and the gang, as always, find the first clue to the mystery hidden in plain sight. The first clue they uncover has a connection to the legendary wrestling event itself; it reveals a conspiracy that spans generations and is connected to a long-lost wrestling treasure. The gang quickly finds a series of clues that connect the masked man to this treasure. Shaggy, the ever-nervous member of the gang, points out that the Phantom Wrester looks extremely similar to “the phantom of the opera”, but the gang dismisses this theory. The clues only escalate to the climax, leading to a confrontation that reveals the true identity of the Phantom Wrester, who is, surprise, surprise, actually disguised as a famous wrestler! The Phantom Wrester truly believes the treasure will grant him ultimate wrestling power, and his plan is to use Wrestlemania to gain access to it.

Wrestlemania Mayhem: A Fight For Fame And Fortune
The mystery intensifies as the gang gets closer to uncovering the Phantom Wrester’s identity. The Phantom Wrester’s plans include some truly outrageous ideas. He attempts to put the entire WWE roster under his thumb, using mystical brainwashing techniques to control the wrestlers. Of course, Shaggy, Scooby, and the gang are hot on his trail, and they’re doing their best to stop him. They rely on their usual detective skills, coupled with a few wrestling moves to get the better of the Phantom Wrester. The wrestling skills are not quite as impressive as the wrestlers themselves, but the gang does a good job of using trickery and strategic thinking to outsmart the villain.
The Climax: A Wrestlemania Finale
The climax of the film is a grand showdown at Wrestlemania. The Phantom Wrester, in an attempt to acquire ultimate power, is trying to gain control of the entire wrestling match. He uses his brainwashing trickery on both wrestlers and the crowd, trying to achieve utter dominance. The gang, however, is not defeated. They devise a plan to expose the Phantom Wrester. They use a combination of Scooby Snacks (always helpful!), and some well-placed Scooby-Doo-style antics to distract the Phantom Wrester and prevent him from taking over Wrestlemania.
The Phantom Wrester is ultimately unmasked, and as it turns out, they have been a rival wrestler the whole time! The WWE roster, free from the phantom wrestler’s control, takes back control over Wrestlemania. The gang watches as the match concludes with a triumphant victory. Scooby and the gang get a few parting words from the wrestlers, even sharing a couple of slaps and a hearty chuckle. The mystery is solved, the bad guy is brought to justice, and the gang returns to their usual lives. However, their experience at Wrestlemania will stay with them forever.
