Former WWE writer and producer Chris Dunn revealed that Vince McMahon personally directed two extras during Alexa Bliss' "Bayley: This Is Your Life" segment on the May 29, 2017 episode of Raw.

Former WWE writer and producer Chris Dunn praised Roman Reigns for his ability to consistently improve weak creative material during his time with the company. Dunn stated that "Roman always made things better" and noted that Reigns would advocate for changes when there were issues with storylines.

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.
According to former WWE creative team member Chris Dunn, Road Dogg wanted Big E to become SmackDown champion a year before Kofi Kingston's WWE Championship run in 2019.

Former WWE writer and producer Chris Dunn claimed that Vince McMahon once decided SmackDown would lose every match at Survivor Series just to mess with Road Dogg, who was running the blue brand at the time. According to Dunn, McMahon made this decision during a creative meeting while Road Dogg was calling in from home, with the only exception being The New Day's match, which was moved to the kickoff show so their victory wouldn't officially count toward SmackDown's record.
Charlotte Flair revealed on WWE Rivals that her friendship with Becky Lynch deteriorated due to Lynch's personal insults about her breasts and calling her "plastic," which Flair said crossed a line because Lynch knew about her body image struggles. Lynch admitted she went too far on social media while trying to make their feud feel real, acknowledging that her approach sometimes pushes past acceptable boundaries. The wrestlers have since repaired their relationship, but Flair explained that the hurt came from someone she considered a friend using deeply personal issues against her publicly.
