WWE lifts the veil. With never-before-seen footage and exclusive interviews, Netflix is preparing a fascinating documentary for all wrestling fans. WWE boss Triple H opened the (usually closed) doors of the world's leading wrestling company to its American broadcaster. The goal? To explain to less knowledgeable fans how a show is prepared.
As the huge annual Wrestlemania rave has just ended, Interview echoed the results of night 1 and night 2-, WWE and Netflix announce "WWE: Unreal." A reference to the fact that some still believe everything in wrestling is fake.
Scripted show but real danger
While this sports-entertainment show is well-scripted to create an extraordinary spectacle and suspenseful stories, the blows received hurt, and the stunts performed are extremely dangerous. Injuries are numerous. So are the marks and bruises. The goal of creating storylines is to make the show spectacular and breathtaking. The blows are amplified but are indeed difficult to absorb.
An untrained person wouldn't last a minute in a ring without getting injured. Superstars like Roman Reigns, John Cena, Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins, CM Punk, The Rock and many others are true top athletes. As the advertisement said, " Don't try this at home", don't try this at home.
In WWE: Unreal, we go even deeper behind the scenes of this blockbuster that never takes a break: 365 days a year, the superstars are on the road all over the United States, and now also en France, in Belgium, in Germany, in England or in saudi arabia.
Coordination between wrestlers, writers' methods, and work ethic—long-taboo topics. WWE wants more transparency, and Triple H has decided to offer it. The documentary is scheduled to air this summer, 2025. on Netflix.
