The collection, featuring popular WWE Superstars, is available now exclusively at Toys“R”Us stores nationwide.
WWE Nitro Sprints are mini, motorized figures that are stylized in WWE Superstar signature ring gear and feature a unique 2” flywheel.

WWE action is also expanding beyond the ring with the introduction of WWE Nitro Machines. The fast-rolling, die-cast vehicles feature iconic WWE Superstars bursting out of the top of the cars. Each 1/55thscale vehicle is ready to race and the WWE Superstar is permanently attached to the vehicle. The WWE Nitro Machines collection includes the following:
- WWE Superstar John Cena in Muscle Monster
- WWE Superstar The Rock in Bull Machine
- WWE Superstar Undertaker in Reaper Hearse
