Netflix releases new trailer for ‘WWE: Unreal’ docuseries

With the premiere date fast approaching, WWE and Netflix are amping up the promotional push for their upcoming docuseries.

“WWE: Unreal” will debut on Netflix with its five-episode first season being made available on July 29. Today, Entertainment Weekly shared an exclusive new trailer for the show. It includes behind-the-scenes footage featuring Paul “Triple H” Levesque, John Cena, Cody Rhodes, Bianca Belair, Rhea Ripley, CM Punk, and more.

Levesque is the narrator of the series, which aims to give viewers an inside look at WWE creative and some of the company’s stars.

“In an unprecedented turn, WWE takes us behind the scenes – into the writer’s room and the homes of their greatest Superstars – to show the year-round work it takes to execute one of the most secretive shows in the world week over week,” Netflix’s official description says. “And when the curtain falls down, the business of getting a show to air is just as compelling as the main event.”

The series is being produced by WWE, Skydance Sports, NFL Films, and Peyton Manning’s Omaha Productions.

“Our business evolves and so do the expectations of our audience,” Levesque told Entertainment Weekly. “When you look at the track records of Omaha Productions and NFL Films, it felt like we had the right partners in place to pull back the curtain and showcase WWE in a brand-new way.”

To promote the series, Punk and Ripley have made media appearances this week, including Punk admitting that the idea of a behind-the-scenes docuseries is strange to him because he’s always been taught to protect the business.
