Top Moments, Reaction from WWE Unreal Netflix Series on Triple H's Backstage Creative

After several teases in recent weeks, Tuesday saw the release of WWE: Unreal on Netflix.

The series, which was announced in April, promised fans a never-before-seen look at the behind-the-scenes machinations of WWE's creative process, led by Hall of Famer and chief content officer Triple H.

Details for each of specific episodes had previously been announced, with the series covering Raw's Jan. 6 debut on Netflix through WrestleMania 41.

The most intriguing episode from the original descriptions was the fourth because its focus was on the Elimination Chamber and John Cena's heel turn. Netflix even released a brief clip of Triple H speaking about the many conversations he had with various people involved in the angle, including Cody Rhodes, The Rock and Travis Scott, before it was decided to go ahead with the turn.

Triple H's comment about calling Travis Scott to go over the plan before talking to Cena generated some amused responses from fans.

One notable element that came out of the episode was The Rock and Brian Gewirtz—The Rock's business partner—had a pitch for Kevin Owens to win the undisputed WWE championship from Rhodes at Elimination Chamber in an impromptu match set up by the Final Boss.

Gewirtz's rationale for explaining the pitch, which was made before Cena's turn was decided upon, was that a babyface feud between Rhodes and Cena "felt a little dry" and they wanted to create a "seismic" moment.

There was also a closer look at the original WrestleMania 41 card, which wound up being very different from what actually took place.

The show revealed that one of the reasons the card changed was because two members of the creative team, Michael Hayes and Ed Koskey, pushed for Jey Uso to win the Royal Rumble when everyone else was backing either Cena or CM Punk.

The pitch was strong enough to convince Triple H to go along with it, since Uso eliminated Cena to win the Rumble en route to beating Gunther for the world heavyweight title at WrestleMania.

Another takeaway from the originally-proposed card was that Bron Breakker and Drew McIntyre were supposed to have a one-on-one match with Stone Cold Steve Austin as the special referee.

It's unclear why that match didn't go down. Breakker and McIntyre were on the card, just in different matches, and Austin memorably drove ATV around the entrance ramp before crashing it into the barricade.

Even though that wasn't a great moment for Austin, it was still better than if he had accepted Logan Paul's $1 million offer to wear the PRIME bottle costume on the show.

The most honest moment of the entire series, at least involving Triple H, comes in episode five between Charlotte Flair and Tiffany Stratton. It was well-documented their feud leading up to WrestleMania went off-script several times, resulting in some very awkward and uncomfortable moments on television.

Cameras showed Triple H dealing with some of the fallout, including saying Stratton was out of line with what she said and directed her to go apologize to Flair.

There is a clip from after their WrestleMania bout showing Flair and Stratton hugging, congratulating each other for a good match, so they at least seemed to be on professional terms by that point.

Even though things didn't go as originally set up when WWE was planning the card for WrestleMania, the show turned out to become the most successful event in company history.

Fans can now enjoy an in-depth look at how it all came together from creative meetings to the final in-ring product.
