Raj Dhesi: WWE Unreal Is A Great Tool To Move The Business Forward

Raj Dhesi discusses Netflix and WWE’s Unreal series, which takes a behind the scenes look at WWE’s creative and backstage drama.

The Netflix series has had a pair of seasons so far and has captured a behind the scenes look at some of WWE’s biggest storylines over the past couple of years, including John Cena’s heel turn and more.

While speaking to the Busted Open podcast in a recent interview, Raj Dhesi spoke about WWE Unreal, noting that he believes it is a ‘great tool’ to move the business forward.

“The way that I see the business going and even what it is today, the best storylines are blending what’s happening/happened in your real life and bringing that somehow on screen… That’s why I really believe (WWE) Unreal is such a great tool to move the business forward. I know everybody has their opinion on it, some people disagree entirely with pulling the curtain back and exposing the business. The business has been exposed. It’s fine, we all know what it is. It’s the intersection of art and sports, it’s the perfect intersection, now, through that show, you can share struggles. Really build that personal connection and bring those into storylines or maybe you plant a storyline within Unreal.. everything is a work anyway. You plant something in Unreal and then bring it into Raw and it moves the needle forward.”

Earlier this year, Dhesi announced he would be starting a series on finances for wrestlers. You can read more about that here.
