WWE Unreal is a groundbreaking show that takes fans behind the scenes. It unravels the crazy, colorful world of professional wrestling and shows how the writers and wrestlers go about creating magic in the ring. The show demystifies the company's creative process and some of its most protected secrets.

On a recent episode of the Lightweights podcast, Rhea Ripley detailed that wrestling was a secretive business, and she wondered what would be on display on the show. However, the star was excited that fans would see the real humans behind the characters and the struggles they had to deal with on a weekly basis.

"I mean, for me, I'm a little bit nervous to see what is actually shown, just because this business is very, like, hidden. Like, there's a lot of things that we don't want out there for everyone. But I think the thing that I'm more excited for is people being able to see, like, a little bit more human side of us, where they can connect to us that little bit more, and they can see the struggles that we go through on a weekly basis, if not multi-time weekly basis, like, preparing for the matches and stuff. Just, like, what our mental structure is going into it, and what we're having to overcome week in and week out. That's what I'm excited for. Everything else, I'm a little bit nervous."
