Triple H, former WWE star and current chief content officer of the American wrestling promotion, has made a major announcement. Ahead of this week WWE Smackdown, Triple H shared a poster of "Unreal - It's More Real Than ouy Think", a Netflix sports series. The show is likely to give fans a behind-the-scenes experience of the WWE. 'WWE: Unreal' will have appearances from John Cena, Cody Rhodes, Rhea Ripley, CM Punk, Bianca Belair, Charlotte Flair, Chelsea Green, Jey Uso, Xavier Woods, and Triple H himself.

According to reports, Triple H will narrate the docuseries. Triple H is a 14-time WWE world champion who has served as WWE's Chief Content Officer since 2022. Recently, Triple H - whose real name is Paul Michael Levesque - told Entertainment Weekly: 'Our business evolves and so do the expectations of our audience. 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."
However, not all agrees with triple H. WWE superstar CM Punk has mixed feelings.
'I have that old-school mentality of protecting the business," Punk said. 'So the idea of letting cameras this far behind the scenes is really strange to me — even if I understand why fans want to see it."
WWE: Unreal will premiere globally on Netflix on July 29. The series is directed by Chris Weaver and produced by Omaha Productions, NFL Films, Skydance Sports, and WWE.

Top female wrestler exposes the brutal reality behind questionable backstage segment

Saraya shares spine-chilling backstage incident: Image via X WWE is way beyond lights, gimmicks, and fun. It's creepy and dark on the other side. Especially when it comes to the female wrestler, it's even darker than a lone stormy night. To sketch that full picture, you need to go back to the infamous Vince McMahon era when writers witnessed the dark, shredded reality behind the screen. A few called it a 'kingdom ruled by fear'. But the former CEO was merely a reflection of the problem. He's not alone, after all, in staging those creepy segments on and off screen, and then laughs it all off like a duck soup. But what Saraya reveals about her backstage experience in WWE breaks all the previous records of odds and slithers. Saraya calls out WWE authority figures for an offensive gesture backstage Wrestling products need some serious quality checkups to make women feel safer and secure, a bare minimum for a sports person to chisel out the best. Saraya, 32, dropped a bombshell as a reminder to fix this loophole as early as possible. During her recent appearance on the Rule Beakers podcast, the former NXT Champion revealed how she felt harassed backstage by a WWE authority figure. ''Like, it was at a wrestling show. And I went out to peek at the crowd, and you know, like most live events, it's just like pipe and drape, you know, so you can peep through,' ' said Saraya. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Why seniors are rushing to get this Internet box – here's why! Techno Mag Learn More Undo Right after, a mystery man emerged from behind and put his hand on her mouth and forcefully dragged her into the darkness. Quite obviously, the WWE sensation was left on the edge of her seat before the man in a mask finally revealed his identity, and she found that he's a known figure, an anonymous WWE mogul. But yet the most disgusting thing is how he chose to justify it as a joke. '' Like, it was really dark. I went down the little hallway, and it was really dark. Really dark. And I peeped through, and then all of a sudden I feel someone's hand come over my mouth—no f**** way—and grab me and drag me into the dark. And I'm just like—and I just start freaking out and freaking out. And then he like lets me go, and there's like this light, and then he was like, 'It's just me. I'm just joking, you know ,'' Saraya didn't mence her words like always. ''I was like, That's not funny.'' However, the fearless diva is only loud, tantrumatic when she feels it's high time to speak up for the higher good. But when it comes to her wide fanbase, she can put her ego to the ashes in seconds and say a warm sorry. Saraya owes fans a 'return' compensation after breaking their hearts As July 13 marked a big statement event for the company in the form of the second edition of Evolution, fans expected quite a few exhilarating entries, returns.. Saraya, the 32-year-old AEW Women's World Champion, was prime among those highly anticipated names. But the Diva, as usual, didn't show up. Fans went insane over social media, expressing their deep disappointment. Saraya herself took the bullets at her with a smile and sought a genuine apology. The star, however, seemed overwhelmed by the sudden love flashes, and wrote on X, ''I am sorryyyyy, although seeing all t he love made me emotional '' Now, nothing less than a full-fledged return next on her card can complement her apology better.

CM Punk flexes his perfect relationship with wife AJ Lee to rule out a joint return

CM Punk reasons why he won't share ring with wife AJ Lee: Image via X AJ Lee might return to a huge pop but not alongside his husband, as ever. It's high time to quit that hope, folks. The on-screen rivals-turned-the hottest real-life couple are now bound to some self-inflicted rules. Yes, social media says couples who work out together stay together. But those online hashtags couldn't really convince the Straight Edge Superstar. He writes his own and lives by it straight. No twists, no curves. And a joint screen return doesn't come under that rulebook. WWE Universe is hyping up the much-anticipated AJ Lee return for months. Kee, back in 2015, had her last dance in the squared circle. While primarily, she took the decision to put her career on a halt for some recurring neck and back issues, with time, she got yoked in her off-screen life more and more.. CM Punk rules out a ring-sharing fantasy with AJ Lee Currently, Punk's lady luck is wearing multiple hats. She has ventured into other mediums and seems to enjoy that thoroughly. Lee cropped up in Sacramento, a new movie starring Michael Cera and Kristen Stewart. She has also co-written a few comic books and tried her hand a little into screenwriting. No, a WWE return isn't really off the chart yet, but it's not in the priority list, either. Punk, 46, on top, has a legit issue working alongside Lee in the ring. And WWE is an even place. If Lee returns, she will come across her husband sooner or later. In a recent interview with TV Insider, Punk said he loves to keep his work and love life separate for the sake of a happy and balanced life. '' There are really two things that my wife and I don't do together. One is to work out and the other is to work together. It's really the perfect relationship,'' said the 7 time world champion. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Dubai villas | search ads Get Deals Undo Well, that makes some sense. Especially, the way Punk and Lee manage to keep their marriage healthy amidst the eye- eye-threatening flashes of lights, camera and action, their relationship philosophy speaks volumes. But can Lee make a solo return at some point? Well, that's, too, nothing but a flippant script. AJ Lee's WWE return seems a bit too far-fetched In wrestling, retirement is a myth. From John Cena, Dwayne Johnson, to Bill Goldberg, the legends hung up their shoes multiple times and laced them up again. Be it the profound love for sports, the pop culture, that adrenaline attached to the fans cheering, or anything else, they couldn't stay away from the ring for a long time. But for Lee, the stage seems a bit different. Ever since Punk returned to the lore at the 2023 Survivor Series, fans kept bothering him about his wife's return. Without any sugarcoating, the Second City of the Saint mentioned several times that Lee is really tied up with her other commitments, and a return is all but an idea to bank on. But people still kept hoping and paid the price. They returned with a heavy heart from the Royal Rumble 2025, where they largely deemed Lee a potential surprise entrant. Ahead of the Evolution second edition, WWE reignited that flame of hope, posting some random photos and clips of AJ Lee on their official YouTube channel. But history repeated itself. Lee didn't show up, and neither will she ever. '' Wrestling opportunities have popped up over the years, and I've just never been ready for that. I'm not sure, like, physically, whether that fire is there,' ' the former Divas Champion spoke her heart out in an old interview. It's not rocket science to understand she's not really up for a return. The cervical issues are really bad, and the lack of confidence due to the long break is a bonus to substantiate. But regardless, CM Punk and AJ Lee will go strong, hand in hand, making the world stop and stare. Also read: Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!
