RAW star dislikes major WWE show

A RAW star has shared his dislike for a major WWE show. In the last few years, the sports entertainment giant has expanded its programming with various shows across different platforms.

One recent offering that divided fans and veterans was WWE Unreal on Netflix. The docuseries offered fans a behind-the-curtain look at how the Stamford-based company puts together its shows as well as giving an insight into the writers' room.

Many industry veterans criticized the show, and RAW superstar Grayson Waller isn't a fan of the series either. Speaking on the Battleground Podcast, the Australian star said he likes some mystery to be kept.

"I’m not a big fan of Unreal. I understand it’s a really entertaining show and a lot of my mates have watched and say they love it, but for me, I love the mystery. I don’t like the magician’s secrets to be revealed," he said.

Waller also mentioned how it is different when you are performing in the ring for the camera compared to revealing how things are done backstage.

In the past, the company's Chief Content Officer Triple H defended Unreal from criticism, saying people today know how stuff works, but they are still not showing how the trick is done.

Randy Orton isn't thrilled about WWE Unreal

Grayson Waller isn't the only star having issues with WWE Unreal. Veteran Randy Orton also expressed his thoughts.

During an appearance on The Maggie and Perloff Show, Orton said that the old-school wrestler in him "doesn't love the idea." However, he said that he understands the need to change with the times and the fact that there are fans who would want to consume such a product.

Regardless of the criticism, the TKO-owned promotion is reportedly already filming for the second season of Unreal, with a release date expected in 2026.

About the author

Sherjeel Malik is a writer at Sportskeeda and covers pro wrestling. He was hooked on the product from the moment he saw The Hardy Boyz jumping off ladders during the Attitude Era. While he comes from an engineering background, Sherjeel’s love for pro wrestling and content writing led him to pursue a career in sports journalism. Before assuming his current role at Sportskeeda, Sherjeel worked at other reputable organizations for five years.

While writing articles, he ensures that he only relies on credible sources for information and covers relevant subjects that do not project an agenda against a particular person or association. WWE legend Paul Heyman once shared Sherjeel’s work on his social media handle.

Sherjeel’s earliest memory of pro wrestling is watching Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker square off for the WWE Title in the main event of a pay-per-view in 1998. His favorite wrestlers are Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy. While he admires Orton for his character work as a heel, he looks up to Jeff because of his unique wrestling style and risk-taking ability.

If he could go back to the Attitude Era, Sherjeel would like to manage Ken Shamrock and be his mouthpiece. He feels Shamrock’s promo skills prevented him from becoming a main event-level act in WWE. Hence, he would like to help the UFC Hall of Famer get over with fans.

When not writing about pro wrestling, he likes to read classics and fiction books.
