WWE announces new date for ‘WrestleMania 40: Behind the Curtain’ documentary
The long-delayed WrestleMania 40 documentary has a new premiere date.
Triple H announced on social media Monday that ‘WrestleMania XL: Behind the Curtain’ will premiere July 3 on YouTube at 7 pm ET.
“The Road to #WrestleMania XL was all about finding magic amidst the chaos,” Triple H wrote on X. “Now…we’re showing you how it all really went down. WrestleMania XL: Behind the Curtain premieres July 3 at 7pm ET, exclusively on @WWE’s YouTube channel.”
The documentary was first announced for an April 10 release, just days after the two-night premium live event. However, the film never aired, with no reason being given. Back in May, former WWE head writer and current executive for The Rock’s Seven Bucks production company Brian Gewirtz denied that Rock was responsible for the film’s delay.
“There is, believe it or not, there is an awesome doc that WWE…The Rock isn’t holding hostage until he has approval of every frame… Jesus,” he said on The Ringer’s Masked Man Show. “But there was, I think there was an error in terms of promoting it so soon because it wasn’t ready to come out. So, that was an error that was made. But this was a doc that I think went from 11 minutes to 45 minutes, now it’s over an hour. And it’s pretty awesome, and it will be coming out in some form pretty soon, is my understanding.”
Those featured in the trailer include The Rock, Triple H, Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, and Seth Rollins.
