Seth Rollins is not a fan of WWE Unreal.
Speaking to ESPN New York, Rollins explained why the concept of the show goes against his view of the business.
“I’m super uncomfortable with it to the point where I resisted and didn’t want anything to do with the first season. ‘Keep me out of it. Don’t put me in it.’ I didn’t want anything to do with the second season, but they asked and asked and asked. I said, ‘There are some things that I want to protect and that I will protect. If you cross those lines, we’re going to have a problem, but there are things I’m okay with sharing,” he said.
Rollins is a part of season two but wanted restrictions in place.
“If you want to talk about my family and my story, the real person behind Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch, we can get into all of that stuff. It’s more because you don’t know who is mic’d all the time. Wrestlepalooza, we have this mixed tag team match and there are cameras all over the place. There are some things I don’t want filmed or want you to see. I just raise an eyebrow at the crew and they know when to put it away, press the button, turn the microphone off and have my moment,” he said.
The series is described as: “Wild plot twists. Larger-than-life personas. And a whole lot of drama. Go behind the scenes with the biggest Superstars and back into the writer’s room on the road to SummerSlam for Season 2 of WWE: Unreal.”
The second season of Unreal drops on Netflix on January 20th, 2026 at 3:00 AM EST.
