WWE Unreal season 3 begins July 21
WWE Unreal debuted on Netflix in July of 2025, with the second season airing this past January. Much of the second season focused on the fake injury that Seth Rollins worked through for much of the summer last year. That injury led to Rollins cashing in his Money in the Bank contract and winning the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam.
Also in season two, Becky Lynch revealed that she was currently wrestling in what would be her final contract with WWE. In an appearance with Chris Van Vliet after the show aired, Lynch clarified those comments and said that she could hang it up after this contract, and that it wasn't guaranteed.
