In recent months, Prime Video has managed to capture the attention of viewers with a series of buddy movies starring WWE stars, consolidating an appeal that evokes the nostalgia of the 90s. Among them are Red One, featuring Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans; State of the Union, with John Cena and Idris Elba; and the most recent, The Demolition Brothers, starring Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa.

In recent months, Prime Video has managed to capture the attention of viewers with a series of buddy movies starring WWE stars, consolidating an appeal that evokes the nostalgia of the 90s. Among them are Red One, featuring Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans; State of the Union, with John Cena and Idris Elba; and the most recent, The Demolition Brothers, starring Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa.
A Hilarious Buddy Movie
The demolition brothers have had a successful debut, reaching number 1 in 50 countries and grossing nearly 20 million dollars in its first weekend, with a budget of less than 3 million. The film features a disciplined Navy SEAL instructor, James Hale (Bautista), and an anarchic police detective, Jonny Hale (Momoa), whose opposing personalities force them to collaborate in a plot involving a murder and a conspiracy.
The film promises a mix of action and comedy, with well-choreographed graphic violence that keeps the viewer’s attention. Although the fiction follows the conventional scheme of a buddy movie, its quality in execution seems to have resonated favorably with both critics and the public. This project arose from a challenge on Twitter between Bautista and Momoa and was directed by Ángel Manuel Soto, who has been praised for his work.
As the entertainment industry seeks new formulas to attract audiences, the success of this movie demonstrates that the combination of charisma, explosive action, and humor can result in massive appeal. Amazon, like others in the sector, highlights the power of WWE figures in the cinematic realm, capitalizing on their popularity to revitalize a subgenre that seems to be making a comeback.
Many people criticize professional wrestling, even going so far as to mock it, claiming that it is not real. That it is childish and stupid entertainment because the violence is choreographed and treated as if it were real. Which is a rather strange criticism when you think about it carefully. No one claims that film or theater are not valid forms of art or entertainment because there are actors playing a role, that ballet or any kind of dance performance is less real because the dance is choreographed and not spontaneous. But that doesn’t happen with wrestling.

But that doesn’t happen with wrestling.
Wrestling is held to a standard of reality that we do not demand from the rest of fiction. Even before we were sold things that are fiction as reality, like reality shows, which are just as scripted or more than professional wrestling. But behind every wrestling event, there is a lot of very hard work, and a Netflix documentary has wanted to show us that.
A world much tougher than it seems
WWE: Incredible is a documentary series that delves into the inner workings of the world’s largest professional wrestling company, WWE, to uncover all its intricacies. Without restrictions. And it does so in a way that feels new and refreshing to the audience, treating it as if it were any other business. Analyzing all the different aspects of it, dealing with everyone involved in making each event and each match a resounding success.
The first season, which premiered on July 29, 2025, was a great success for both WWE and Netflix. And consisting of five episodes, it did a good job of explaining the ins and outs of the company.
In the first episode, New Era, they unraveled how the preparations for WWE RAW were made to premiere on Netflix from a technical and operational standpoint. In the second, Push, they focused on how one of the biggest events of the year, Royal Rumble, is scripted from inside the writing room. In the third, Worth the Wait, three injured wrestlers discuss their experiences with injuries, recovery, and how they feel about returning to the ring. In the fourth, Heel Turn, it explains how the controversial and not very successful heel turn —in wrestling jargon, turning evil— of John Cena happened. And the fifth and final one is a behind-the-scenes look at the big event of the year, Wrestlemania 41, where John Cena snatched the company’s championship from Cody Rhodes.
All of this was met with tremendous success and curiosity from the public, eager to learn more about a show they enjoy and adore. It was also met with no small amount of criticism from within the wrestling world, as well as from certain particularly purist sectors within it, who claimed that this was the final nail in the coffin of kayfabe.
But what is kayfabe? Kayfabe is the concept of treating everything that happens inside and outside the ring as real. If two wrestlers hate each other, kayfabe dictates that fans should not see them having a beer together. And for the same reason, exposing that everything is scripted and decided in advance, at least in the vast majority of cases, goes against the classic idea of kayfabe. Maintaining that illusion, which everyone knows is not true, that what happens inside the ring is strictly and necessarily real.
Of course, many people believe that kayfabe, in modern times, should be strictly adhered to in the same way as in any other artistic or cultural field. Not breaking the fourth wall and maintaining consistency within the fictional events of the product. Something that, as WWE: Incredible shows, they agree on in WWE.
The second season, for its part, promises to give us an even deeper look behind the scenes. What happens when creatives want to deliver a big surprise, even within the company. How parenthood fits in with being one of the company’s big stars. In addition to some other stories like what happens when a career is cut short, or how a new one is managed, in a second season that promises to continue developing that hidden side of WWE.
Hidden not because no one knows it, but because it happens behind the scenes. And if you want to know more, the second season of WWE: Incredible is now available on Netflix.

The WWE has demonstrated its influence in the world of digital entertainment by launching Monday Night Raw on Netflix just over a year ago. Since its debut on the platform, the iconic show has generated impressive figures that highlight subscribers’ interest in wrestling content. In 2025, it was reported that Netflix users watched over 525 million hours of WWE-related material, a compelling testament to the franchise’s appeal.
Spectacular Numbers for WWE
Particularly, Monday Night Raw has been a major draw, accumulating a remarkable total of 340 million views on the streaming service. These figures not only highlight the popularity of the show but also the successful synergy between WWE and streaming platforms like Netflix, which have allowed fans to access exclusive wrestling content in a more accessible way.
The implications of these numbers are significant for WWE, as they reinforce its position as a major player in the realm of digital entertainment, while also showing the growing interest of consumers in this type of content. With the expansion of its library to streaming platforms, WWE continues to innovate in ways to capture the attention of younger and more diverse audiences.
While consumption data is positive, it is rumored that WWE is exploring new forms of content that could go beyond traditional wrestling. This could include original series projects and documentaries that delve into the cultural phenomenon that is wrestling. However, no concrete details have been announced yet.

This plan is being implemented gradually, and one of the first surprises on the horizon is the new project from the famous Jackass franchise.
An Unexpected Return
The recognized cast member Johnny Knoxville recently announced through his Instagram account that a new Jackass movie is scheduled to be released on June 26. Although specific details about the plot have not yet been revealed, the anticipation among fans is high, given the legacy of madness that characterizes this series. Fans can look forward to the crazy, dangerous, and extreme stunts that have made the franchise famous since its inception.
Jackass is known for pushing the boundaries of humor and bravery, and each movie has raised the bar in terms of the risky stunts its participants are willing to perform. With the return of the team and Knoxville’s unmistakable style, this new installment promises not to disappoint those who have followed the saga over the years.
The evolution of Paramount’s portfolio, complemented by the return of Jackass, could revitalize not only its image but also attract new viewers. As the film industry continues to adapt to a changing landscape, the bet on increased production and the return of iconic franchises like Jackass could be a key strategy for the studio’s future success.

John Cena, one of the most iconic names in wrestling, is preparing to close his illustrious career with a final match scheduled for December 13. This announcement has moved his fans, who have witnessed his evolution in the ring over the years. Cena has been on a farewell tour that took him to participate in iconic events like WrestleMania 41 and SummerSlam, where he left an indelible mark on the history of WWE.
John Cenaaaa!!
This December, Cena will face excitement and nostalgia once again as he headlines Saturday Night’s Main Event, a featured event of the WWE that will serve as the backdrop for his final match. This event is not only a tribute to his career but also an opportunity for fans to show their support and appreciation for his dedication and contributions to sports entertainment.
Throughout his career, Cena has stood out not only for his talent in the ring but also for his work outside of it, participating in movies, television shows, and philanthropic activities. His charismatic character has resonated with multiple generations, making him an icon not only within the world of wrestling but also in popular culture. Cena has managed to maintain his relevance in the industry, and his recent farewell is a testament to his legacy in WWE.
With the announcement of his last match, fans are eager to see what Cena will offer in his farewell, and WWE promises an unforgettable show. It is rumored that this fight will be an event that will not be easily forgotten, celebrating his career and the memorable moments he has created in the ring during his years in wrestling.
Dave Bautista, known for his roles in film franchises like Guardians of the Galaxy and his recent work in Dune, has shared his decision to no longer work with difficult people in the entertainment industry. In a recent interview with Collider, the actor and former WWE wrestler stated that he has reached a point in his career where he can afford to be more selective about the projects he chooses and the people he collaborates with. Bautista described his previous work experience as “absolutely horrible” when it came to working with problematic individuals. Out toxic people […]
Dave Bautista, known for his roles in film franchises like Guardians of the Galaxy and his recent work in Dune, has shared his decision to no longer work with difficult people in the entertainment industry. In a recent interview with Collider, the actor and former WWE wrestler stated that he has reached a point in his career where he can afford to be more selective about the projects he chooses and the people he collaborates with. Bautista described his previous work experience as “absolutely horrible” when it came to working with problematic individuals.
Get toxic people out of your life
Throughout his career, Bautista has faced various challenges, but over time he has managed to establish himself as a respected actor in Hollywood. His growing popularity and the success of his recent projects have given him the freedom to choose whom to work with, emphasizing the importance of a positive work environment. “I am at a point in my life and career where I can be more selective,” he stated, highlighting his desire to collaborate with professionals who share his work ethic and passion for cinema.
Bautista’s change in attitude towards his collaborations resonates in a part of the entertainment sector where working conditions and emotional well-being are becoming crucial topics. Moreover, the actor’s decision could influence how other professionals in the field choose their projects, prioritizing healthier work relationships. Bautista continues to be a reference in the fight for a more positive and beneficial workspace for everyone in the industry.
In cinema and television, some of the less famous superheroes from comics have managed to succeed. Iron Man was not among Marvel’s favorites when he took the movies by storm. Not to mention The Guardians of the Galaxy. There are exceptions, like Batman or Spider-Man, but the new wave of superheroes seems to have found more fertile ground in those superheroes who are not already endorsed by the general public. A good example is Peacemaker. The origins of the character Peacemaker are known to the public for being the character that inspired The Comedian from Watchmen of […]
In cinema and television, some of the less famous superheroes from comics have managed to succeed. Iron Man was not among Marvel’s favorites when he took the movies by storm. Not to mention the Guardians of the Galaxy. There are exceptions, like Batman or Spider-Man, but the new wave of superheroes seems to have found more fertile ground in those superheroes who are not already endorsed by the general public. A good example is The Peacemaker.
The origins of the character
The Peacemaker is known to the public as the character that inspired The Comedian from Alan Moore’s Watchmen. That is to say, he was not a well-known character at all. He was vaguely known by those familiar with Moore’s work, but very few people had a direct and close relationship with the character himself.
The character, in fact, did not become part of the DC universe until relatively recently. It would not be until the event Crisis on Infinite Earths in 1988 that he would officially become part of the DC universe, because until then the idea was for the Watchmen characters to replace them in DC. But with the not-so-friendly breakup between Moore and DC, the American company decided to take the Charlton characters, the company that originally inspired the Watchmen characters, and officially integrate them into the DC universe.
Since then, they have been characters that have rarely had weight within the DC universe. And Peacemaker in particular has been a figure with very little weight. He died in a minor event, The Janus Directive, returned to life years later as a mentor to Blue Beetle, and ended up being part of the lineup of the seventh incarnation of the Suicide Squad. This is how he appeared in the group’s movie, and during the pandemic, James Gunn decided to continue his series with an 8-episode show that was a complete success that caught everyone by surprise.
John Cena, the star of the series
The first season of the series introduces us to Peacemaker, who is forced to join A.R.G.U.S, a special operations squad that seeks to identify and eliminate parasitic creatures in the form of butterflies that hijack human bodies. This will lead him to a series of dramatic missions, filled with comedy, where he will have to face his worst enemy: his own past and the disconnection from his present. Learning that it’s not just about saving people, but also about how it’s done.
Although the series works due to Gunn’s wonderful scripts, another reason it has resonated well with the audience is the one that might be least expected at first glance. And it’s that John Cena does a spectacular job as Peacemaker.
In fairness, Cena is not a very good actor. He is too stiff, his range is not very broad, and he always ends up playing himself. This is true in WWE and not very different in Hollywood. But in The Peacemaker, he knows how to bring to life a character that is completely disconnected from the present because he is, in essence, a person with a completely military mindset who is unaware that he is a bit pathetic. Or to be fair, quite pathetic.
That’s where Cena shines as an actor. His range is limited, but he knows how to play with it as Peacemaker. He has a comedic knack, especially knowing how to be the butt of the joke, which adds depth to the character, and he has no problem showing vulnerability, even if he doesn’t have the depth of other more gifted actors, like Dave Bautista for example, without straying from wrestlers turned actors. And that makes a character like Peacemaker fit him like a glove: it feels tailor-made for him because, in many ways, it’s a continuation of what he has been doing his whole life in WWE: being a good soldier. Only now, with a character that has many more nuances than that.
A second season that we can enjoy now
With the premiere of the second season, we can expect many things, although nothing concrete. Gunn and Cena have remained secretive about the character and the future of the series, so we don’t have anything particularly relevant about it. However, we do know one thing: the character will continue to evolve.
If there is one thing that characterized the first season, it was the change of Peacemaker throughout it. Whatever threat he faces in this second season, what is to be expected is that we continue to see how he keeps changing and evolving as a person. Even if he is still going to be a jerk who, upon seeing Aquaman, brings up how true it is that he romantically likes fish. Something that no one confirms or denies.
Premiering today, August 21, on HBO Max, there is no scenario where the series could disappoint its fans. It’s Peacemaker, it’s John Cena, and it’s James Gunn. Following the story of the recent Superman, we can expect to see the future of the DCU here, and just for that, it’s worth watching. But even if it weren’t, after the first season, there are very few reasons not to continue watching this series.
This weekend Wrestlemania 41 took place. Being a two-night event, Wrestlemania remains one of the biggest wrestling events in the world, alongside AEW’s All In and NJPW’s Wrestle Kingdom. With sixty-three thousand attendees over its two days, it is a celebration of wrestling and its history that many people did not want to miss. And we also want to dedicate a small space to it. Because Wrestlemania is legendary. And what happens here always holds a special place in the world of wrestling. That’s why we are going to talk […]
This weekend Wrestlemania 41 took place. Being a two-night event, Wrestlemania remains one of the biggest wrestling events in the world, alongside AEW’s All In and NJPW’s Wrestle Kingdom. With sixty-three thousand attendees over its two days, it is a celebration of wrestling and its history that many people did not want to miss. And we also want to dedicate a small space to it.
Because Wrestlemania is legendary. And what happens here always holds a special place in the world of wrestling. That’s why we are going to talk about the five biggest moments of this forty-first edition of the event. One that has had its ups and downs, without a doubt, but that fans will recognize has been tremendously special due to some of the title changes and the special appearances that no one expected.
Yeet to the heavyweight
Gunther has been the undisputed heavyweight champion for months. No one has been able to overshadow him, and for very good reasons. His blend of a tremendously powerful style with precisely calculated movements in the ring makes him practically unbeatable. That is, until he encountered his unexpected match in one of the former strongmen of the Tribal Chief.
Jey Uso managed to defeat Gunther after just over fifteen minutes of fighting by submission, becoming the second person to defeat the now former champion in this way. The first was Ilja Dragunov, which places Jey Uso in a more than notable position for his new reign. Considering how high Gunther has set the bar, he will have to work hard to maintain it.
Tiffany Stratton retains her crown
Tiffany Stratton arrived at Wrestlemania with a duty: to keep the WWE Women’s Championship belt. And it wasn’t going to be easy. In front of her was Charlotte Flair, one of the most decorated champions in the history of the company, who may have gone overboard with her on the way to this match. Something that has been noticeable in the ring.
After almost twenty minutes of fighting and with Stratton losing a tooth along the way, she managed to defeat the daughter of the legendary Ric Flair in a titanic duel where she has established herself as one of the strong women in the company. How long will it last? We don’t know. There are great competitors who will undoubtedly go after her title, but after a victory like this at Wrestlemania, it is undeniable that Tiffany Stratton’s value has skyrocketed.
The least expected heel turn
In the triple threat between Seth Rollins, CM Punk, and Roman Reigns, anything could happen, but let’s be honest: we all expected that the one who would lose would be Seth Rollins. Pinning Punk or Reigns? That’s not going to happen, right? Well. Unless Paul Heyman decides to turn his back on CM Punk and ally with Rollins, securing him a victory in a match lasting just over thirty minutes.
The end of the first night was intense, unexpected, and full of emotions. It wasn’t the best match of the day, nor can it be said that it was a great match, but at least we can state without a doubt that it created an interesting situation that could take us to many different places. That heel turn by Seth Rollins and Heyman teaming up with him, turning their backs on both Reigns and Punk, is something we didn’t see coming. And we are eager to see what consequences it has.
Iyo Sky does it again
The women’s world title has revolved around the conflict between Rhea Ripley and Bianca Belair. These two women have only had eyes for each other and the possibility of tearing each other apart at the slightest opportunity. Which, without a doubt, has been a mistake. Because the fight was not just between them, but it had a third leg to the stool: Iyo Sky, the champion before and after the fight began.
Achieving a great victory at Wrestlemania, she continues to show that the women’s division in WWE remains the most interesting part of WWE today. And that Iyo Sky continues to be one of its greatest assets. Something we never doubted for a second, but this Wrestlemania has confirmed it once again.
The seventeenth
John Cena against Cody Rhodes was supposed to be a classic. Unfortunately, it won’t be. As a match, it hasn’t been what we expected, and it hasn’t helped that the build-up to it hasn’t been the best. Also, the intervention of a Travis Scott, who should have been The Rock, could have made things much more interesting for the future. But let’s be honest. John Cena with his seventeenth world title in the last year of his career feels right.
We would have preferred it to be different. Better. That doesn’t change the fact that it is what it should be. John Cena is a legendary wrestler, very beloved by a large part of the audience, and it feels right that he is the new world champion. Quien consiga vencerle y retirarle, será un héroe y conseguirá un enorme push. Will they know how to capitalize on this in WWE? That remains to be seen. What is certain is that seeing John Cena as champion again feels good. And it’s because John Cena is the eternal champion of the company for a good reason: he is liked a lot.

Elon Musk has been at the center of controversy after admitting that he used external help to improve his character in Path of Exile 2. This revelation came after a private conversation on Twitter with the popular YouTuber NikoWrex, who shared the dialogue he had with the magnate. Despite the accusations and suspicions surrounding him, Musk defended himself when questioned if he would apologize to the gaming community, stating, “What would I have to apologize for?”.
Musk, a cheater inside and outside the game
The doubts about Musk’s ability to reach high levels in the game without external assistance have sparked an intense debate about the authenticity of his success in the world of video games, especially in an environment where time and skill are crucial factors. Apparently, the achievement of a character with outstanding statistics raises questions about whether he truly possesses the necessary skills to achieve it.
It is not the first case of celebrities admitting to resorting to third parties to improve their performance in video games. WWE wrestler Randy Orton also confessed that he paid $1,000 to obtain a more powerful character in Elden Ring. This type of confession has sparked a broader debate about the ethics of using external help in the gaming realm, raising questions about fair competition and the true value of achievements in video games.
As these discussions expand, the community of Path of Exile 2 and other similar titles is watching closely, wondering if the use of such practices should be accepted or rejected in contemporary gamer culture. The comments and reactions of the players will continue to fuel this debate in the coming days. Unless Musk’s suspiciously fascist movements stifle the conversation first.
As we already knew, WWE is coming to Call of Duty, and now we know exactly what is coming to Call of Duty Mobile to make us dream of wrestling.
Although when we talk about collaborations in video games we think of Fortnite, the truth is that Call of Duty has been doing an excellent job of integrating other IPs into their games for years. It’s not even surprising anymore. If once it seemed strange to play with or against Snoop Dogg as an operator to celebrate 4/20, now it’s an annual occurrence that doesn’t surprise anyone. That’s why, when it was announced that they were going to collaborate with WWE, it didn’t seem so strange either.
The entire Season 5 of Call of Duty revolves around wrestling, so it shouldn’t surprise us that a handful of WWE superstars will appear as operators. Having already confirmed Rhea Ripley in the past, they have now confirmed that we will also be able to play as the American Nightmare, Cody Rhodes, and as one of the most beloved wrestlers in the world, Rey Mysterio. In addition, within the franchise’s own mythology, Ivan Alexxeve, Makarov’s former ally, will arrive, as well as a mysterious new operator known only as Reckoner.
Among the new weapons, which we hope are not brought from WWE, we can find the Static-HV, the STG44, the Spear, and the Torque 35. The Static HV is a compact SMG with rapid fire that is perfect for short distances. The STG44 is an assault rifle with exceptional damage and recoil that will help you in your medium-distance battles. The Spear is, well, a spear, perfect for close combat and throwing. And the Torque 35 is a compound bow whose only necessary explanation is that it’s always really cool to finish off your opponents with a bow.
Another novelty is that we have a new map. Or to be exact, an old map is coming back. Because Meat, a map that already appeared in the first season, returns to become one of the permanent maps in the rotation. Located in the Port of Oakland, its narrow streets and small size make it ideal for those looking for a more immediate experience, based on close combat and short distances.
To finish, this fifth season also includes two new modes: the Frontline mode and the Battle Royale: Practice Zone. The first one is a 6v6 team deathmatch with time limit, where the team that accumulates the most points before time runs out wins. The second one is a practice space with the Rebirth Island map, where you can try different strategies without players being able to harm each other. A perfect opportunity to polish your skills and get hooked on everything Call of Duty has to offer.
