So, what can be found in the new WWE Slam Crate, anyway?

So, what can be found in the new WWE Slam Crate, anyway?

Curiosity got me.

When Pasadena, Calif.-based Loot Crate recently announced its first crate that's a tad closer to the sports (entertainment) realm than most of its mystery box offerings -- the WWE Slam Crate -- this fan decided to sign up and see what was to come.

The First, which is the theme of this one, arrived today packing a few surprises and some oddball inclusions that offer a glimpse of what might be to come.

For $29.99, a fan got eight items inside the crate -- a mix of collectibles, usable everyday items and other knickknacks all with a WWE theme. Typically, the crates are comic book, entertainment or movie/television-related with a concept that ties them all together -- like "dead" which grouped Deadpool and The Walking Dead, for example.

Everything comes tucked into a custom-designed box that also reflects the theme. What was inside the crate?

Check out the gallery below.

The Bottom Line: Overall, this collector grades this first Crate as a B-minus. I feel like it needed a little more from the WWE's women's division, something for a headlining name and some other type of photos/items that are more like collectibles/cards. A pin and a patch are ultimately the same type of item, so it feels like something more was needed. The second Slam Crate will be one where I decide whether or not to continue with the program as the concept -- and the fact that there's not much like it from the company for the sports world -- is one that I find compelling.

: Enzo & Big Cass T-shirt — This shirt was worn by the up-and-coming duo on Sept. 19 and won’t be found anywhere but here.

: The New Day vinyl figure — The WWE’s trio of tag team champions loves them some cereal, video games, unicorns and much more. You get a taste of that here.

: Dean Ambrose belt buckle — the WWE’s loose cannon wrestles wearing jeans and a sleeveless undershirt. The belt buckle is also part of the ensemble.

: Austin Aries Topps card — He makes his cardboard debut with WWE here — and 100 copies came autographed. Buzz was not one of the lucky ones.

: Dean Ambrose’s pet plant during his in-ring promo segment was part of the in-ring decor. Well, at least until Chris Jericho took Mitch out. You can revive him here in miniature form. (Yes, it’s a real plant kit.)

: NXT patch — the simplest item is a patch that reminds you of one of WWE’s hot spots in the last couple of years.

: Sasha Banks blue sunglasses — The Boss’ unique look gets a twist here. Simple as that.

: WWE Championship pin — a favorite past belt design gets put into pin form. This look was big during the Hulk Hogan years so consider it a nod to the past.
