WWE doesn’t stick to only in-ring productions for the fans’ entertainment. The company goes beyond the realms of pro-wrestling. It works on projects involving interviewing legends to create a unique series.
As per reports, the company has been working on the WWE Evil Project. The idea behind this series is to bring together moments and Superstars who scared the audience with their segments. John Cena is the executive producer and narrator for the series.
Apart from Cena, other names reportedly involved with the series are The Undertaker, Hulk Hogan, The Godfather, Bayley, Randy Orton, Batista, The Usos, Paul Heyman, and others. Currently, it’s unknown when the series will premier, but the estimated timeline aims to release it on Peacock around Halloween.
