Plot

]
On
modern day Earth
, after a live
WWE
show in
Denver
,
Colorado
,
Big Show
is scheduled to face
Sheamus
for the
WWE Championship
in
Albuquerque
on
WWE SmackDown
the next night, but
Mr. McMahon
cancels the title match due to a snowstorm. Enraged by the cancellation, Big Show storms out of the arena and flies a plane through the blizzard only to be lost in the storm when his plane stalls.
100 years later,
George Jetson
is assigned by
Mr. Spacely
to supervise a project that involves robots drilling through the surface of the Earth. When the robots report an obstruction on their drilling path, George investigates and discovers a frozen Big Show. After George brings him home and thaws him out, Big Show discovers that he was frozen for 100 years.
The next day,
Elroy
brings Big Show to his school for
show and tell
. Here, Big Show discovers that the WWE still exists, but is now a robot wrestling promotion. He steals the robot remote controller from Mr. McMoon, the descendant of Mr. McMahon, and uses the robot wrestlers to take over Orbit City.
The Jetsons escape and time travel to the Albuquerque show. George interferes with the Sheamus vs.
Seth Rollins
match, resulting in
Roman Reigns
,
The Usos
and
Alicia Fox
running in to get him out of the ring. Following the ruckus, George convinces Mr. McMahon and the WWE Superstars to travel with his family back to the future to save Orbit City only to end up returning one month later with Orbit City now under Big Show's complete control. Sheamus challenges Big Show to a winner-takes-all match while George is captured and imprisoned along with the other human citizens.
As the WWE Superstars battle their robot counterparts, George has the humans band together and revolt against Big Show, parking their flying cars around him to ensure a fair fight between Sheamus and Big Show. Sheamus knocks Big Show out with a Brogue Kick. Instead of pinning Big Show, Sheamus convinces him to continue their battle in the present.
In the aftermath of the battle, the WWE Superstars return to their time while Spacely Sprockets gets the contract to rebuild Orbit City with George once again assigned to supervise the robot workers.
After the city returns to normal, the Jetsons attend
WrestleMania
to watch the new human WWE Superstars enter the ring.
