A real-time 3D wrestling game featuring ten WWE Superstars from the 2004–05 Ruthless Aggression era — including John Cena, Triple H, Eddie Guerrero, and The Undertaker — developed by Exient Entertainment exclusively for the N-Gage. Match types include King of the Ring tournaments, Tag Team, Survival, and submission-focused bouts, with two unlockable characters (Big Show and Kane) and two-player Bluetooth and N-Gage Arena support.

Announced in August 2004 and repeatedly delayed — from Q4 2004, to February 2005, to a March 2005 target — before finally shipping in Europe in May 2005 and North America in August 2005. Critical reception was mixed at best, with a Metacritic aggregate of 53/100; GameSpot gave 5.3/10 and IGN 5.0/10, both noting the shallow move set and weak AI. The pre-release GameSpot hands-on had been cautiously optimistic about the character models, though reviewers ultimately found the finished product disappointing. Noteworthy for including Chris Benoit in its roster — a detail that has since become historically awkward given Benoit's 2007 death. Developed by Oxford-based Exient Entertainment, who went on to build a substantial mobile portfolio including EA Sports titles in the smartphone era.
