Stephanie McMahon discussed WWE’s Unreal docuseries while interviewing Oba Femi on her What’s Your Story Podcast.
During the interview, McMahon talked about growing up in the business and witnessing its evolution. She also discussed the Unreal docuseries, saying it does not give away the magic of the industry but instead shares it with audiences.
“I literally grew up in this business and thinking about all of the generations of people that I’ve known and learnt from, and how things have evolved, and how things have changed. And yet some things still stay exactly the same,” said McMahon. And that’s the thing is I never, I think Unreal, I like Unreal. I don’t think it gives away the magic, I really don’t, because the magic is the magic. The magic is a feeling, and the magic is the feeling you create and that you share, that you share with the audience, that you share with everyone whose in the ring with you.”
“It’s like this kinetic energy, and you can’t give that away, because it’s not anything to give away, it’s something you experience. So, I tend to agree, I think times are evolving again and it’s an exciting time, it’s a really exciting time to be a part of the world.”
Femi agreed and expressed how the stars watch matches from backstage and are still blown away with ‘magic’ of wrestling.
“I agree, I’m with you. Even the boys, when they watch the matches backstage. They’re backstage and they still go like “Wow! That was awesome”. They know how the magic is done and they’re still blown away.”
The Netflix docuseries first aired in July 2025, taking audiences backstage and giving a glimpse of behind-the-scenes preparations that go on before any WWE show – from creative discussions, rivalries, matches and production.
The second season focused on SummerSlam 2025 planning. It also gave insight into Seth Rollins’ faked knee injury to get revenge on CM Punk at SummerSlam. The third season of the docuseries is slated for release in the summer of 2026.
Meanwhile, Femi made his official main roster debut at the Royal Rumble this year. The following weeks, he showed up on Raw and SmackDown to prove his in-ring strength. On the March 16 edition of Raw, Femi powerbombed Brock Lesnar and pointed to the WrestleMania 42 sign, indicating that he was responding to the open challenge issued in February. This will be his first WrestleMania bout.
Additionally, McMahon will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame this year.
