Seth Rollins reveals why he resisted being a part of WWE: Unreal.
The first season of WWE: Unreal premiered in the summer of 2025 to mixed reviews. While some praised the docuseries for its production values, others criticized it for breaking kayfabe and revealing too much behind the scenes.
With the second season set to release on Netflix in two weeks, WWE Superstar Seth Rollins has explained why he was initially hesitant to take part in the Unreal experience. During a recent appearance on ESPN New York, the former World Heavyweight Champion shared his candid thoughts on filming the docuseries.
“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. 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,” Rollins said. [H/T: Fightful]
