WWE Shop on a budget: 5 affordable picks that won’t body slam your wallet

As WWE and its corporate overlords at TKO tighten their iron grip on fans’ wallets, staying loyal to the sports entertainment giant is becoming more punishing than a Brock Lesnar suplex.

Ticket prices? Sky-high. And based on recent remarks, it sounds like fans may soon need a second mortgage — and their firstborn as collateral — for nosebleed seats.

But hey, you’re a diehard. You love WWE, and you still want to support your favorite wrestling empire… preferably without selling your kidneys.

So, what can you grab from WWE Shop without blowing your Money in the Bank?

Fear not. Your ever-watchful, budget-conscious Noble Scribe has done the heavy lifting (because someone has to). Here are five solid, affordable picks from WWE Shop that won’t put your finances in a figure-four.

Undisputed WWE Universal Championship Toy Title Belt

Before you roll your eyes, consider the first toy belt WWE released back in 1988. As someone who owned that foam disaster, I can confidently say that you kids today don’t know how good you have it.

At $34.99, it’s not exactly “The Champ is here!” levels of prestige — but for a kid play-wrestling with friends, or an adult wanting something quirky to hang in the office, it’s a solid choice well under 50 bones.

And again, it beats this:

Zelina Vega Muñeca Choker Necklace

If accessories are your thing, this one’s a steal.

It’s a necklace inspired by former Women’s United States Champion Zelina Vega, inscribed with Muñeca — Spanish for “doll.”

In a way, it’s a two-for-one. First, it’s a wearable accessory that doesn’t embarrassingly scream “PRO WRESTLING!” Second, even though it’s not an actual doll, it’s a nostalgic nod to the days when WWE action figures were under $10. These days, they start at $20 and only go up from there.

Okay, maybe that last part is a stretch. Still, for $3.99, WWE is almost giving this away. Arguably the sleeper deal on this list.

Nikki A.S.H. Costume Mask

Halloween’s creeping up, and if you haven’t picked a costume yet, consider going as Nikki Cross.

Remember when Nikki thought she was a superhero? WWE Shop does.

Sure, anyone can rock her current gimmick as a member of the Wyatt Sicks. But going retro? That, as Carlito would say, is cool.

Plus, you’ll confuse the hell out of your friends at the Halloween party as they wonder what year it is. (Answer: 2021, when Nikki Almost a Superhero beat Charlotte Flair for Raw women’s gold.)

Dare to be different. Go old-school.

The nWo is for life — and so are its many knockoffs. Enter: the LWO.

Originally founded by Eddie Guerrero in 1998, the Latino World Order has had… let’s say, a rough few years.

Who are we kidding? The group stinks now. But did I mention Eddie Guerrero founded it?

At $3.99, this armband is a small price to pay for honoring the time Guerrero mockingly threw the nWo back in Eric Bischoff’s face.

Celebrate the LWO for what it was — not what it has become.

Men’s In Your House Adjustable Hat

Back in the mid-‘90s, WWE launched In Your House — a monthly pay-per-view that featured shorter shows, solid cards, and a price tag under $20. At the time, WWE proudly advertised its new PPV as being cheaper than a family trip to the movies.

These days, WWE couldn’t care less about affordability. But this hat is a throwback to when they at least pretended to.

And at $8.99, it’s a budget-friendly reminder of where most of us will be watching future WWE events: in our house.

So, for all five items, our total before taxes comes up to $55.95 — a savings of $31 after markdowns.

But wait: there’s more!

WWE Shop is currently offering free shipping on orders over $29 — which this cart easily qualifies for.

Now it’s your turn, Cagesiders: Which of these steals are you adding to your cart? Did I miss a hidden gem you think other frugal fanatics would want to know about?
