WWE Unreal looks like it is moving forward, at least on the surface.

WWE Unreal isn't officially renewed for a season 2, but it certainly seems like WWE and Netflix are continuing to work on it.

Fightful Select noted that WWE Unreal director Chris Weaver was backstage in Gorilla Position during Seth Rollins' cash in and was filming content. Those we spoke to say they expect that the entire angle will be covered for the next batch of episodes, whenever that may be. Weaver spoke with Fightful and wouldn't confirm the second season, but said he wants it.

Throughout the week, those that we spoke to in WWE still hadn't quite made up their mind on how they felt about the show. There were some talent who were featured, who hadn't been told that they were being filmed for the program. Talent also said that it was already worked into their contract, and there are always signs up saying that they were subject to being filmed, but they did worry about the emotions that run high in the Gorilla position being one less "sacred" area where they could be vulnerable.

Also, featured talent we heard from said they weren't paid anything extra for the show, at least that they're aware of. The ones we heard from didn't particularly mind that, but did note it.
