WWEs Netflix series Unreal is meant to peel back the curtain on what really goes on behind the scenesbut one insider says the show is faking the drama for the cameras.
During the Dirty Sheets Wrestling Informer podcast, Billi Bhatti tore into Unreal, claiming that while the show pretends to offer a raw look at WWE creative, many of the segments are scripted for dramatic effect. According to him, the series manufactures tension in scenes that had already been resolved long before the cameras rolled.
Bhatti specifically pointed to the booking discussion for WrestleMania Night Ones triple threat between Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, and CM Punk. On the show, WWE writers are seen debating who should winbut Bhatti insists the decision had already been locked in.
He explained that WWE always intended for Seth Rollins to win the match and form a new faction with Paul Heymanmaking the entire debate scene pointless.
Bhatti then questioned the authenticity of other scenes in the series, including the Royal Rumble booking segment that showed WWEs creative team debating the winner.
If Bhattis claims are true, it throws WWEs entire behind-the-scenes narrative into question. Unreal may still offer value as entertainmentbut viewers hoping for authenticity might be left disappointed.
