Positive Update On Future Of WWE Unreal

WWE Unreal

More WWE Unreal content is coming to Netflix, according to the company’s plans for the show.

The WWE Unreal series debuted on Netflix in late July, consisting of six episodes. The series revealed what life was like behind the scenes in WWE. It covered major events from earlier in the year, like the Royal Rumble, John Cena’s heel turn at Elimination Chamber, and WrestleMania.

While many WWE fans have a good idea of how professional wrestling works behind the scenes, WWE Unreal offered a rare glimpse into how the creative team generates ideas and produces matches. They even granted unprecedented access to things like Triple H directing the camera shots for Cena’s heel turn, which was kept a secret from others in the company.

As for the future, Fightful Select reports that WWE Unreal will return with a tentative release in January 2026.

It was reported by Fightful that WWE Unreal season 1 director, Chris Weaver, was on hand at SummerSlam when Seth Rollins cashed in Money in the Bank on CM Punk to leave with the World Heavyweight Title.

In Season 1, they followed several different wrestlers, including Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, Jey Uso, Chelsea Green, Rhea Ripley, and others. Fightful reports that Seth Rollins will be one of the main subjects in season two. Weaver and his team have been filming WWE Unreal content at multiple WWE events.

Triple H Knows That Some People Don’t Like WWE Unreal

The WWE Chief Content Officer, Paul “Triple H” Levesque, is featured on Unreal as much as anybody since he’s the head of the creative team, who is also a two-time WWE Hall of Famer, and knows what it takes to be a top star in the company.

When discussing the show, Triple H said he knows that people think WWE pulled the curtain back too far on Unreal, but he also believes it shows how much people in the company care about their performances.

“The internet is all complaining that we’re lifting the curtain and showing you stuff, meanwhile, they’re doing a podcast where all they’re doing is talking about the behind-the-scenes s**t that’s going on. I don’t understand that logic.

The world knows, an eight-year-old kid lifts up his phone, Google’s stuff, and knows all the behind-the-scenes stuff right there. So, being able to see it, we’re still not showing you how the trick is done, we’re still not showing you how the guy levitates, we’re still not showing your any of that stuff but to me what that show does is show you the heart, soul and passion that everybody puts into that product to make it great for fans.

It’s not taken as the most serious thing on the planet; it’s supposed to be fun, it’s supposed to be entertainment, it’s supposed to be a good time.

If you’re a fan you already know, if you’re not a fan, watching that makes you think, ‘man they put a lot into this, I’m interested in watching that now, I learned something about these people as human beings, not just as characters and that interests me’ – I’ve heard a lot of people say that.”
