The WWE Unreal program on Netflix is part of a billion-dollar partnership that began at the beginning of 2025. In January of 2025, WWE began airing its flagship WWE Raw television product on the popular streaming service. As part of the deal, WWE also airs its PLE's like WrestleMania and the Royal Rumble internationally on the streamer.

Three years ago, WWE was also nominated for a Sports Emmy Award. The Peacock production on Ric Flair was up for Outstanding Long Documentary.

WWE has long talked about winning these awards. Paul Heyman infamously insisted that Roman Reigns should win one for his work inside of The Bloodline, which began during the WWE pandemic era inside of the Thunderdome.

The Bloodline story wove through years of television across Raw and SmackDown and featured a four-year world championship run from Reigns. During that time, Reigns worked with a who's who of top WWE stars, including Daniel Bryan, Edge, Brock Lesnar, Jey Uso, Cody Rhodes, Kevin Owens, and many others.

The next WWE PLE that will air on Netflix is WrestleMania 42 from Las Vegas. As for WWE Unreal, it was picked up again for a third season.
