Netflix is set to release a new documentary series titled “WWE: Unreal,” with a fresh trailer now available ahead of its premiere. Entertainment Weekly’s exclusive preview reveals that WWE’s Chief Content Officer, Triple H, will narrate the series.
The trailer showcases behind-the-scenes moments featuring top WWE stars such as John Cena, Cody Rhodes, Bianca Belair, Rhea Ripley, and CM Punk. The first season consists of five episodes, debuting on July 29th, and offers an unprecedented look into WWE’s creative workings and the personal lives of its wrestlers.
Produced through a partnership between WWE, Omaha Productions of Skydance Sports, NFL Films, and Peyton Manning, the series aims to pull back the curtain on WWE’s evolution. Triple H shared in an interview with Entertainment Weekly that as both the business and fan expectations change, collaborating with Omaha Productions and NFL Films was the right move to present WWE in a fresh light.
To boost attention for the series, stars like Rhea Ripley and CM Punk have appeared in recent media events. Punk has expressed mixed feelings about the show, acknowledging his traditional mindset about safeguarding the business and feeling uneasy about the intense behind-the-scenes exposure, despite understanding the appeal to fans.
Fan Take: This new behind-the-scenes look could be a game-changer for WWE fans, offering rare insight into the artistry and effort behind the spectacle. It signals WWE’s willingness to evolve and connect with audiences on a deeper, more personal level—potentially reshaping how the sport is viewed and appreciated.
