Series director Chris Weaver spilled the tea in a recent chat with Jimmy V3, confirming WWE’s big-picture plan. He hinted that the company is all-in on mirroring the success of other Netflix behind-the-scenes gems to draw fresh eyes to the ring.

'WWE saw how these docuseries open up new audiences for sports, and they’re aiming for that same magic - let’s get more people watching and grow our fanbase,' Weaver shared.

While the idea has sparked some debate among die-hard wrestling buffs, Weaver emphasized that the focus is on captivating the next wave of viewers. Even industry heavyweight Paul Heyman admitted to having mixed feelings but acknowledged the series is full steam ahead.
