WWE’s latest Netflix venture, WWE: Unreal, has sparked debate among fans and media analysts for its unprecedented look behind the curtain. While some critics argue the show has veered too far from what makes wrestling special, others have really enjoyed the series, arguing it’s gotten them incredibly invested in the complexities of producing a WWE event. Triple H was asked about the “magic” versus what old school fans have called kayfabe (keeping the industry’s secrets).
Triple H WWE Can’t Be Afraid Of The Critics
Premiering on July 29, 2025, WWE: Unreal has garnered a lot of attention already. The show pulls back the curtain on everything that goes into WWE, including wrestlers working through their matches together, the writers choosing who and how a talent will get over or win. The series has taken a look at the personal and professional journeys of top Superstars such as John Cena, Rhea Ripley, Chelsea Green, CM Punk, and Triple H himself.
The series provides an inside look at the grueling preparation, emotional toll, and creative storytelling that go into the shows. And for Triple H, while he understands not everyone wants to know how the “trick is done”, the show is about much more than revealing the magician’s secrets.
In an appearance on ESPN’s First Take, Triple H addressed the backlash. “You can’t be afraid to do something in life,” he said. “If we were afraid that people might criticize what we do, we wouldn’t be putting on a show every week. It’s part of what makes us wonderful in what we do.”
