In recent years, WWE product has undergone several changes and no longer resembles what it was during Vince McMahon's management. Triple H and Nick Khan have changed several aspects of the shows and improved relationships backstage, allowing the Stamford’s company to sign a deal with a platform with Netflix that has totally revolutionized this business by starting a new era.
As if that were not enough, The Game has organized the most prestigious events on the calendar following a very different logic than in the past and has convinced numerous veterans to return to WWE, despite having had serious disagreements with the previous management.
The reference is above all to legends of the caliber of Cody Rhodes and CM Punk, who are experiencing perhaps the best moment of their careers and whom almost no one expected to see again in WWE after what had happened in the past.
WWE has changed policy
WWE hasn't disappointed in the first half of this year either, making John Cena's farewell tour truly thrilling so far. The leader of the 'Cenation' made more appearances than expected and gave fans at least two unforgettable moments: the heel turn during Elimination Chamber in early March and the victory of his 17th world title during WrestleMania 41.
Recently, the docu-series 'WWE Unreal' was also released in which some interesting moments taken from behind the scenes are shown.
However – during the latest edition of the 'Wrestling Informer' podcast – Billi Bhatti defined this product as untrue: “Another thing that is very fake is the documentary. Unreal. Parts of it are real but more or less this is a staged documentary by the WWE and there are even staged scenes in there.”
He continued: “Whilst people are correct to get annoyed… you are actually seeing staged inner workings of the WWE. There was no real discussion about who was going to win between CM Punk, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns. When I saw that, and I saw all the writers sitting around the room discussing who was going to win that match after it was already booked, I knew the whole show was pretty much staged.”
