WWE and Netflix are tag-teaming to pull back the curtain on the wrestling world, and now we’ve got the full breakdown—straight from Netflix—to prove it. The five-part docuseries WWE: Unreal officially drops July 29, and Netflix has confirmed the official episode titles directly to Ringside News.
Season 1 will include five episodes, each with its own focus and theme. Episode 1 is titled New Era, and it centers around WWE RAW’s Netflix debut at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles this past January. This episode features the CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins confrontation, with additional spotlight moments from Cody Rhodes and Rhea Ripley.
Episode 2, titled Push, dives deep into the men’s Royal Rumble. Cody Rhodes’ intense feud with Kevin Owens and their ladder match is front and center. Jey Uso’s massive Royal Rumble win is also given key attention.
The women take over in Episode 3, titled Worth The Wait. This chapter tracks Chelsea Green’s unexpected United States Title win, Charlotte Flair’s comeback from injury, the Women’s Royal Rumble, the Elimination Chamber matches, and Bianca Belair’s journey. According to POST Wrestling, this episode and the previous one will feature a unique visual style with continuous shots that follow a wrestler through the entire match.
Episode 4 is called Heel Turn, and it captures the secrecy and shock surrounding John Cena’s major character shift at Elimination Chamber. Cena’s heel turn isn’t the only turn, either—New Day’s return to villainy is also covered. This is the only episode that includes commentary from WWE President Nick Khan, with appearances from Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and longtime WWE creative mind Brian Gewirtz.
The series finale, Episode 5, is simply titled Wrestlemania. As expected, it focuses on WrestleMania 41 and the main event-level matchups that defined it: GUNTHER vs. 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 episode also includes a behind-the-scenes moment featuring Triple H receiving notes for the next night’s RAW, giving fans rare insight into WWE’s ongoing creative process.
Oddly, Unreal doesn’t address The Rock’s absence from WrestleMania. The Hollywood megastar made it clear back in April during The Pat McAfee Show, “I was never scheduled to appear. That was never the plan.”
With the episode titles confirmed and the scope of the project now fully clear, WWE: Unreal seems determined to walk the line between exposing the truth and protecting the show. Whether fans will see the full reality or just another polished production remains to be seen.
