Anyone else love Ric Flair?
I grew up watching wrestling. But had absolutely no concept of who each wrestler was or which storyline was which. Instead, I was drawn to the “scary” characters with big personalities and a flair for the evil yet dramatic. And now Peacock is releasing a show that is catered to that exact interest. Their new show WWE EVIL comes exclusively to the streamer on March 24.
Created and hosted by John Cena, the 8-part docu-series is the latest expansion of WWE programming on Peacock. It’s also the first-ever original from WWE Studios.
Each one-hour episode of this psychological exposé, dives deep into a single infamous heel, unveiling rare behind-the-scenes details from some of the biggest names in the industry. These “evildoers” undeniably shaped pop culture through the decades, making a tremendous nostalgic impact that bled into mainstream culture today.
Watch the trailer for WWE Evil:
