Seth Rollins is the poster boy for season two of the critically-acclaimed Netflix original documentary series, βWWE: Unreal.β
βThe Visionaryβ and βThe Revolutionaryβ of WWE is set to be a central figure in the second season of WWE: Unreal, which premieres on January 20, 2026 via Netflix.
Not only is the WWE veteran prominently featured as the lone figure in the new promotional poster for WWE: Unreal Season 2 (see photo below), but he is also a focal point of the promotional trailer for the return of the docuseries (see video below).
Leading up to the WWE SummerSlam 2025 premium live event, Rollins went down with a knee injury, which he revealed at βThe Biggest Party of the Summerβ was a hoax, with WWE labeling it βThe Ruse of the Century.β
This entire situation is expected to be one of the key storylines for the sophomore season of the WWE: Unreal docuseries.
During an interview this week on ESPN New York, Seth Rollins admitted he is βsuper uncomfortableβ with being heavily featured in WWE: Unreal.
In fact, he flat out told WWE he βdidnβt want anything to do with the second season.β
βIβm super uncomfortable with it,β Rollins admitted during his ESPN New York interview (see video below). βTo the point where I resisted and didnβt want anything to do with the first season.β
Rollins elaborated, explaining how he specifically asked not to be part of it, only for WWE to personally ask him to be included.
ββKeep me out of it. Donβt put me in it,’β Rollins recalled telling WWE. βI didnβt want anything to do with the second season, but they asked and asked and asked. I said, βThere are some things that I want to protect and that I will protect. If you cross those lines, weβre going to have a problem, but there are things Iβm okay with sharing. If you want to talk about my family and my story, the real person behind Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch, we can get into all of that stuff.ββ
He added, βItβs more because you donβt know who is micβd all the time. WrestlePalooza, we have this mixed tag team match, and there are cameras all over the place. There are some things I donβt want filmed or want you to see. I just raise an eyebrow at the crew and they know when to put it away, press the button, turn the microphone off, and have my moment.β
WWE: Unreal season two premieres on Netflix on Thursday, January 20, 2026.
