Let's take a look at five major names set to appear in WWE Unreal Season 2:

John Cena's last match opening SNME - Check out Why!

#5. Becky Lynch

Becky Lynch has officially been announced to appear in the upcoming season of WWE Unreal. The Man made her return at WrestleMania this year and had an amazing run as the Women's Intercontinental Champion. Her feud with Lyra Valkyria was one of the most impressive rivalries of 2025, and WWE might want to feature it in the documentary. Netflix has also announced Valkyria's entry into the cast.

Big Time Becks also played a minute yet important role in Seth Rollins' historic injury angle for SummerSlam. She posted a clip of Rollins limping on her Instagram, which tricked fans into thinking that The Visionary might actually be injured. Considering that Lynch was a mainstay of RAW following WrestleMania 41, she is expected to have a major role in WWE Unreal S2.

#4. Cody Rhodes

The American Nightmare was the Undisputed WWE Champion for the majority of his time this year. He faced John Cena in his final WrestleMania match, which featured the controversial Travis Scott ending. Besides, Rhodes was then involved in the babyface turn of The Cenation Leader as well, which culminated in an epic match at SummerSlam 2025.

Therefore, the new season of WWE Unreal could provide a behind-the-scenes look at Cody's time in the company this year. The American Nightmare made his return to WWE following WrestleMania, which managed to pull off massive hype. Netflix could show the preparation for that comeback, and what was the motive to bring back Cody Rhodes at Money in the Bank.

#3. Jelly Roll

Jelly Roll is also set to make his celebrity entry in WWE Unreal after Travis Scott. Roll competed in a tag team match alongside Randy Orton against Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul at SummerSlam this year. The country rapper revealed that he went through a rigorous training procedure to get in shape for his match. Additionally, his performance garnered praise following the show.

WWE Unreal could present the behind-the-scenes look of Jelly Roll's training with the superstars. It can also give fans a glimpse into what pushed the songwriter to step up in the ring. Besides, Roll could give his thoughts about how he felt after his first match. Netflix might also provide a look at how Triple H and management reacted to the singer's performance in the Gorilla Position.

#2. Seth Rollins

Seth Rollins turned heel at WrestleMania 41 to join forces with Paul Heyman. He then formed The Vision and went on to become Mr. Money in the Bank later on. But the most iconic moment of the year was his "Ruse of the Century" where he shocked the fans and CM Punk by cashing his Money in the Bank contract to become the new World Heavyweight Champion at SummerSlam.

Fans have many questions about how Triple H managed to trick the WWE Universe into thinking that Rollins could actually be out. The new season of WWE Unreal could reveal who the stars were involved in this masterstroke. In fact, it could shed light on whose idea it was to put Seth out for a while, only to bring him back at SummerSlam. Besides, CM Punk's actual backstage reaction would also be something that fans would be looking to see in the documentary.

#1. Rhea Ripley will be in WWE Unreal S2

Rhea Ripley had another tremendous year. She opened Night 2 of WrestleMania 41 with Bianca Belair and IYO SKY for the Women's World Title. That match made headlines all over the globe. Mami then went on to compete in the main event of the second-ever WWE Evolution show, where she delivered yet another classic match with IYO SKY for the championship.

WWE Unreal S2 could give fans a look behind how Triple H and team managed to put together Evolution this year. Ripley was in the main event of the show. Therefore, she is likely to take the center stage in an epsiode of the new season. Besides, The Eradicator made her return to Australia this year to compete at Crown Jewel with IYO SKY against The Kabuki Warriors. The Netflix documentary could provide fans with how she felt while competing in her home country.
