The WWE Unreal series, despite mixed feelings among talent, may continue. The Netflix show, which premiered on July 29th, offers an unprecedented behind-the-scenes look at the wrestling world. However, some wrestlers like CM Punk, Realiple, and Randy Orton are opposed to revealing the inner workings of the business. Meanwhile, WWE officials appear unfazed by these concerns.
An update from Fightful Select revealed that certain wrestlers were not filmed for the series, and many remain undecided about their stance on it. Additionally, some talent were not compensated for their participation, although official negotiations are underway, with performers acknowledging that the arena is constantly being filmed.
There are ongoing concerns among wrestlers about filming in sensitive areas such as gorilla positions, where emotions often run high. WWE Unreal director Chris Weaver was spotted filming a behind-the-scenes segment featuring Becky Lynch during Seth Rollins’ Cash In at Summerslam. Although no official announcement has been made about a new season, Weaver expressed interest in continuing the series.
Fan Take: This news is significant as it highlights the tension between talent privacy and fans’ desire for transparency in WWE. If WWE Unreal continues, it could offer deeper insights into the sport, enriching the fan experience while potentially reshaping how wrestling storylines and behind-the-scenes dynamics are presented.
