Netflix To Take Fans Inside The WWE Writer’s Room

The new series will take viewers into the WWE writer’s room for the first time ever, offering a look at the creative process and the drama that happens off-screen. The official logline for the series states: “For the first time ever, step into the WWE writer’s room and outside the ring with your favorite WWE Superstars, where the drama is just as intense offstage as it is under the spotlight.” A trailer for the new series has also been released.

High-Profile Production Team Behind The Series

“WWE: Unreal” comes from a team of high-profile producers, including Peyton Manning’s Omaha Productions and NFL Films, who have previously collaborated on successful sports documentaries. Skydance Sports and WWE are also serving as production companies for the series, which is directed by Chris Weaver and showrun by Erik Powers. The project is the latest development in the landmark partnership between WWE and Netflix that began when Monday Night Raw moved to the streaming platform in January 2025.

The new docuseries promises to give a new perspective on the creative process in WWE. One of the company’s top stars, CM Punk, recently commented on the show, admitting he has mixed feelings about it. Due to his “old school” mentality of protecting the business, he said it feels “really strange” to let cameras so far behind the scenes, though he understands the show is for the fans.
