Former WWE writer and producer Chris Dunn believes Netflix's WWE Unreal uses "stage producing" to explain wrestling concepts to casual viewers, with some scenes designed more for audience education than authentic behind-the-scenes footage. Dunn cited a scene involving Penta as an example of content created to teach viewers rather than show genuine creative discussions, though he noted that other conversations, such as those about potential opponents for champions like Chelsea Green, accurately reflect real WWE creative meetings. He described the show as containing real elements of WWE's creative process while being packaged to make it accessible to a broader Netflix audience.
