POST Wrestling has reported new details related to the upcoming Netflix series WWE Unreal.
A co-production of Omaha Productions, NFL Films, Skydance Sports, and WWE, the series has been compared to the popular HBO series Hard Knocks, with the following descriptions for its first five episodes:
Episode 1: A focus on the WWE Raw premiere on Netflix at the Intuit Dome from this past January and the main event between CM Punk and Seth Rollins, with a spotlight on Punk, Cody Rhodes, and Rhea Ripley.
Episode 2: Focusing on the men’s Royal Rumble match and the feud between Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens from Saturday Night’s Main Event and their ladder match at the Rumble. There is also a spotlight on Jey Uso and his Rumble win.
Episode 3: This is an episode heavily featuring the female talent, including Chelsea Green winning the U.S. title this past December, Charlotte Flair returning from her injury, the women’s Royal Rumble & Elimination Chamber matches, and a portion dedicated to Bianca Belair. Both episodes focusing on the Royal Rumble matches include a visual feature following a wrestler throughout the match in a continuous sequence, and are said to be visually compelling.
Episode 4: This episode covers John Cena’s heel turn at Elimination Chamber in March and the lengths they went to keep it a secret, as well as focusing on the men’s Elimination Chamber match and New Day’s heel turn. We are told this is the only episode where Nick Khan will speak, as well as appearances by Dwayne Johnson and Brian Gewirtz for the portion covering Cena’s heel turn.
Episode 5: This is the WrestleMania 41 episode spotlighting the match involving Gunther and Jey Uso, CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins vs. Roman Reigns, IYO SKY vs. Rhea Ripley vs. Bianca Belair, and Cody Rhodes vs. John Cena. The fifth episode includes a scene of Levesque being handed notes for the next night’s episode of Raw to emphasize the ongoing nature of WWE’s creative process.
Triple H is said to be a central figure of the series, providing an introduction at the beginning of the first episode and serving as a narrator with an emphasis on the first and fifth episode.
The report notes that there will be footage of writers’ meetings at WWE HQ and moments in the Gorilla position backstage at events, but a large amount of the show’s structure will be dedicated to profiles on wrestlers and matches.
WWE Unreal is currently set to release its first five episodes next month, with another five episodes slated for early 2026.
Netflix, NFL Films, and WWE have not responded to confirm details about the series as of this writing.
