CM Punk, Rhea Ripley reveal chaos behind the scenes in Netflix's WWE: Unreal docuseries
What really happens before a WWE superstar steps into the ring? The new Netflix docuseries, WWE: Unreal, pulls back the curtain on the wild world of professional wrestling, featuring never-before-seen moments, creative chaos, and emotional truths from stars like CM Punk and Rhea Ripley. The show will premiere on July 29. Narrated by WWE Chief Content Officer Paul 'Triple H' Levesque, the five-episode series explores the creative pipeline that powers Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown, from WWE headquarters in Connecticut to the global stage. CM Punk, who returned to WWE in 2023 after nearly a decade away, told E Online that the show will reveal how a single idea can snowball into a headline-grabbing story. He told the publication that fans will learn the seed of an idea and the genesis of how it all 'goes from headquarters to on the road'. Rhea Ripley added that fans will witness how storylines take shape in closed-door meetings and how creative direction often shifts mid-show due to injuries, audience reactions, or last-minute changes. 'Things can change on the fly. They happen all the time,' said Ripley. Ripley, who vacated her Women's World Championship in April 2024 due to a shoulder injury, knows firsthand how unpredictable wrestling can be. She said, 'You are always stressed going out there. Things do go wrong.' CM Punk, echoing the sentiment, explained that his preparation routine changes depending on whether he is wrestling. He said that if he is wrestling, he will not deadlift the morning of a match. Despite their larger-than-life personas, even the top stars feel nervous before going live, stated another report in Netflix's . Ripley was quoted saying that it is a normal, human thing. She said she listens to music to channel her fierce alter ego, The Eradicator. 'Also, Triple H might give me a pep talk before I go out, that always helps,' she added. The show also spotlights heartfelt farewells, like John Cena getting ready to retire after over 20 years in WWE. Punk says he partly regrets leaving when he did, but it feels better to be back and work with Cena one last time. Punk, according to Tudum, also talked about a storyline that got canned but still gets him thinking; he was once in the running to play Vince McMahon's son from an affair. Punk says he does not want that to be reality, but he wonders how it would have played out. WWE: Unreal is just one of many sports documentaries on Netflix that give you a look behind the scenes, like Quarterback and Starting 5. Whether you have been watching WWE for years or are just starting out, Unreal is supposed to show you the actual drama behind all the staged craziness. Rhea Ripley is married to fellow WWE superstar Buddy Matthews (formerly Buddy Murphy). CM Punk's '31' tattoo refers to his younger sister's soccer jersey number. Rhea Ripley and Buddy Matthews have been married since June 2024.

Ha Ji-won's unedited photo goes VIRAL; fans refuse to believe she's 48: Pic
Ha Ji-won just proved that some people don't need filters at all! The 48-year-old Korean superstar recently broke the internet with a single street photograph that has left netizens across the globe questioning whether time really affects everyone equally. It all started when a fan account shared what appeared to be a candid behind-the-scenes shot of Ha Ji-won during a filming break. The photo was so stunning that people initially refused to believe it was real. The actress later shared the same image on her personal social media, essentially dropping the mic with a "Yes, this is really me at 48, deal with it" energy. Fashion Goals That Would Make Global Style Icons Take Notes Let's break down exactly what made this photo so jaw-dropping from a style perspective: Top: Square-neck sleeveless crop top (fitted silhouette that perfectly emphasized her toned abs) Bottom: Wide denim pants (the ultimate retro-meets-trendy combination) Hair & Makeup: Natural styling that complemented the outdoor lighting, achieving that coveted dewy, glass-skin effect This effortlessly chic coordination represents the kind of timeless fashion sense that transcends age and cultural boundaries. The crop top-wide jeans combination has become a go-to look for fashion enthusiasts worldwide, proving that good style is universal. What really caught everyone's attention wasn't just the clothes - it was how her perfectly sculpted physique turned a simple outfit into what can only be described as a real-life fitness advertisement. What really got people talking was how she managed to look like she could easily pass for someone in their late twenties. The outfit choice was age-appropriate yet youthful, proving that style doesn't have an expiration date. As one particularly impressed netizen commented: "This is why celebrities don't become famous for no reason!" Secret Behind Her Timeless Glow Ha Ji-won has been refreshingly transparent about her beauty regimen. The actress revealed that she's been drinking fresh lemon juice every single day for the past 15 years - that's the kind of consistency that would put even the most dedicated wellness enthusiasts to shame! Additionally, she's been consuming royal jelly supplements for the same duration. But it's not just about what she puts into her body - Ha Ji-won has maintained an incredibly active lifestyle that's evident from her perfectly sculpted physique. She practices meditation and ensures adequate sleep, understanding that true beauty comes from feeling good inside first. Multi-Talented Star What makes Ha Ji-won's viral moment even more impressive is understanding the full scope of her talents. While she's currently busy filming the highly anticipated OTT series "Climax" alongside Ju Ji-hoon , she's simultaneously preparing for her upcoming movie "Portrait of a Family." But here's where it gets really interesting - Ha Ji-won is also an accomplished visual artist. She's been actively participating in prestigious art exhibitions, including the 2024 Korean International Art Fair where every single one of her artworks sold out completely. She describes her artistic practice as "a different medium for expressing my inner world," proving that creativity flows through multiple channels in her life. Her art has become a serious secondary career, with gallery owners describing her work as emotionally powerful and visually striking. This artistic pursuit adds another layer to her already impressive resume and shows that she's constantly evolving as a creative individual. Breaking The Age Barriers In an era where social media feeds are saturated with heavily filtered images, Ha Ji-won's natural street photograph stands out like a beacon of authenticity. The photo captures what appears to be a completely genuine moment - no professional makeup team, no perfect studio lighting, just pure, unfiltered grace caught in natural daylight. For young people constantly bombarded with unrealistic beauty standards, Ha Ji-won's approach to aging gracefully offers a refreshing alternative narrative. Her success story provides inspiration for countless individuals who worry about career limitations as they age. She's living proof that talent, dedication, and continuous learning can trump societal expectations about age-appropriate career paths. The actress continues to demonstrate that age truly is just a number, especially when you're living your life with purpose, passion, and proper self-care. Whether she's delivering powerful performances on screen, creating thought-provoking art, or simply walking down the street, Ha Ji-won embodies the kind of timeless elegance that inspires people across cultures and generations.
