The docuseries took the audience behind the scenes, exposing them to the business and how the industry works backstage. Unfortunately, some moments and statements in the show raised questions among the fans.

Speaking on Before My Head Explodes with Vince Russo, the ex-WWE writer questioned Paul Levesque's role in the show and criticized the extreme amount of coddling The Game did for his fellow superstars, such as CM Punk and Rhea Ripley, behind the scenes.

"I never in my life thought I would see the level of coddling I saw on WWE: Unreal. When did Triple H become everybody's mother, bro? From freaking CM Punk to Rhea freaking Ripley, holy s**t. They're children; they're needy children, whose feelings get hurt and who have to be told how great they are. And Mama Triple H has to go in and rub them on the back," Russo said.

WWE: Unreal reportedly tried to present Triple H as Dana White of the Stamford-based promotion

Several industry veterans and legends opposed the idea of a reality show on Netflix, as it would expose the business to the audience more than necessary. Regardless, WWE: Unreal debuted and became an instant hit amongst the masses, and it shouldn't come as a surprise if the promotion plans on doing more seasons in the future.
