Netflix Is Launching a Reality Show From Inside the WWE Writers Room — Watch a Teaser
The Undertaker is rolling over in his grave; kayfabe just got Tombstone pile-driven six feet into the dirt.
Netflix is launching a reality show from inside the WWE writers room (“and outside the ring with your favorite WWE Superstars”), where the steamer says, “the drama is just as intense offstage as it is under the spotlight.” The 10-episode, summer 2025 series comes with a completely self-aware title: WWE: Unreal.
Tell us that Vince McMahon has no say in WWE operations without telling us that Vince McMahon has no say in WWE operations.
”Kayfabe” is the practice of maintaining the illusion that professional-wrestling matches, storylines and characters are real. It’s slowly been slipping away, but the old school lived by the rule.
Chris Weaver will direct the series, which is showrun by Erik Powers. Peyton Manning is among the show’s executive producers, as is former WWE executive (and one time Fox Sports president) Jamie Horowitz.
