It's almost time to step into the minds of some of the most memorable WWE antagonists. Peacock has released a brand-new trailer for their upcoming documentary series, WWE Evil, as well as descriptions for each of the eight episodes and a release date. The first original programming from WWE Studios for the streaming service will air later this month on Thursday, March 24.
WWE Evil will consist of eight hour-long episodes, each one delving deep into some of the pro wrestling juggernaut's most revered heels from the company's long history. From the past's greatest villains like Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair to the main event villains of today like Sasha Banks and Roman Reigns, the series aims to provide a "psychological exposé" on these characters and explore their impact both in the ring and in pop culture.
WWE Evil was created and is narrated by John Cena, who also serves as executive producer alongside Vince McMahon and Kevin Dunn for WWE; Julie Pizzi, Farnaz Farjam, and Steve Ezell for Bunim Murray Productions. Micah Brown serves as executive producer, director, and showrunner. The series is produced by both WWE Studios and Bunim Murray Productions. “As Peacock continues to expand its WWE programming, we are thrilled to bring the new original series WWE Evil to the platform, working with the one and only John Cena,” said Benny Reuven, Vice President of Entertainment Unscripted Content at NBCUniversal Television and Streaming. “There is no one better to take viewers into the minds of WWE’s fiercest villains than Cena himself. We can’t wait for WWE fans to devour this series.”
