CM Punk, Rhea Ripley reveal chaos behind the scenes in Netflix's WWE: Unreal docuseries
What really happens before a WWE superstar steps into the ring? The new Netflix docuseries, WWE: Unreal, pulls back the curtain on the wild world of professional wrestling, featuring never-before-seen moments, creative chaos, and emotional truths from stars like CM Punk and Rhea Ripley. The show will premiere on July 29. Narrated by WWE Chief Content Officer Paul 'Triple H' Levesque, the five-episode series explores the creative pipeline that powers Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown, from WWE headquarters in Connecticut to the global stage. CM Punk, who returned to WWE in 2023 after nearly a decade away, told E Online that the show will reveal how a single idea can snowball into a headline-grabbing story. He told the publication that fans will learn the seed of an idea and the genesis of how it all 'goes from headquarters to on the road'. Rhea Ripley added that fans will witness how storylines take shape in closed-door meetings and how creative direction often shifts mid-show due to injuries, audience reactions, or last-minute changes. 'Things can change on the fly. They happen all the time,' said Ripley. Ripley, who vacated her Women's World Championship in April 2024 due to a shoulder injury, knows firsthand how unpredictable wrestling can be. She said, 'You are always stressed going out there. Things do go wrong.' CM Punk, echoing the sentiment, explained that his preparation routine changes depending on whether he is wrestling. He said that if he is wrestling, he will not deadlift the morning of a match. Despite their larger-than-life personas, even the top stars feel nervous before going live, stated another report in Netflix's . Ripley was quoted saying that it is a normal, human thing. She said she listens to music to channel her fierce alter ego, The Eradicator. 'Also, Triple H might give me a pep talk before I go out, that always helps,' she added. The show also spotlights heartfelt farewells, like John Cena getting ready to retire after over 20 years in WWE. Punk says he partly regrets leaving when he did, but it feels better to be back and work with Cena one last time. Punk, according to Tudum, also talked about a storyline that got canned but still gets him thinking; he was once in the running to play Vince McMahon's son from an affair. Punk says he does not want that to be reality, but he wonders how it would have played out. WWE: Unreal is just one of many sports documentaries on Netflix that give you a look behind the scenes, like Quarterback and Starting 5. Whether you have been watching WWE for years or are just starting out, Unreal is supposed to show you the actual drama behind all the staged craziness. Rhea Ripley is married to fellow WWE superstar Buddy Matthews (formerly Buddy Murphy). CM Punk's '31' tattoo refers to his younger sister's soccer jersey number. Rhea Ripley and Buddy Matthews have been married since June 2024.

How Nick Viall, Natalie Joy's 18-Year Age Gap Shaped Age of Attraction
Originally appeared on E! Online Nick Viall and Natalie Joy's rosy romance came with some thorns. Indeed, the Bachelor alum, 44, admitted that his nearly 20-year age gap with his wife, 25, was a point of contention in their relationship that they had to work through. "When we first met, I had a lot of nervousness, and reservations and fears about why we wouldn't work, and I got in my head," Nick told E! News in an exclusive interview. "It was just about removing those fears, and not operating from a place of fear, but looking at what was great about our relationship." "We have so many great aspects of our relationship, and a lot of that came from us working through our own preconceived notions about why we might not work," he added. "We're so glad that we did. With the relationship we have now and the family we have." With the couple—who share 17-month-old daughter River—coming out stronger after navigating those concerns, hosting Netflix's upcoming series Age of Attraction was the perfect opportunity.

"This is a show that allows people to just meet people, [by] getting rid of some of those preconceived notions and barriers, and focus on 'Is there chemistry? Is there compatibility?'" the Bachelor Nation star explained. "That was something that was really exciting for us, because we obviously relate to that." For Natalie's part, it was essential that the series shared a positive insight into the dynamics of these relationships. "We obviously have an age gap and it's something that has been talked about, whether good, whether bad," she told E!. "This is something that going into it—it's a bright light on age differences and relationships of age differences." Meanwhile, Nick also noted that the show's release comes at a unique time in pop culture. "We have a time in the world right now where so many people are feeling lonely, so many people are complaining about the dating climate out there, how hard it is to make connections," he emphasized. "There are a lot of great connections out there to be made, if you can get out of your head." And for the reality star, getting out of his head transformed his life. "Speaking about Natalie and I, it's the most compatible relationship I've ever had," he said. "I could go on and on about it.

Love Island USA 's Pepe Reacts to Claim He Only Dates Blondes
Originally appeared on E! Online This gentleman doesn't necessarily prefer blondes. Though Pepe Garcia-Gonzalez was coupled up with not one, not two, but three blonde women on Love Island USA, the retired basketball player set the record straight on the claim he's only interested in blondes. "I don't have a type," Pepe exclusively told E! News, before describing his past partners outside of the villa. "I've dated three women in my life—well, I guess now four. They have all looked completely different." And although current partner Iris Kendall—with whom he placed fourth during the season seven finale on July 13—has light hair just like his Love Island exes Hannah Fields and Gracyn Blackmore, Pepe clarified it wasn't their appearances that caught his eye. "I did go in there and just said, 'I'm going to lead with my heart and not my head,'" the Madrid native explained. "I just kept going for sweet, genuine, caring women. And for whatever reason, they were all blonde, but that was just what my heart was going for." More from E!

"We both kind of date the same way, where you date one person and you ride out that wave with them until it either continues or just dies down slowly," Pepe shared. "We just want to see what happens. We want to try to date like we normally would have two months ago, before this craziness." While Pepe aims to "see where it goes" with Iris, he hopes to continue to be friends with Hannah, with whom he developed a strong bond before she was dumped from the villa. "I appreciate the time I had with Hannah," he added. "The time we had in there, whatever amount of days it was, it feels like a lot longer, but you continue to live the experience and continue to move on. Just happy I stayed and got to meet Iris."

Amanda Knox Claps Back on Leaked Diary About Sex With 7 Past Partners
Originally appeared on E! Online Amanda Knox isn't ashamed of her past romances. The 38-year-old had a thought-provoking response to recent criticism over a past diary entry in which she admitted to having sex with seven partners by the age of 20—a private confession that was leaked to the public by Italian police after she and then-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito were first accused of her roommate Meredith Kercher's murder in 2007. In the old journal entry shared to X July 15, Knox—who was in the midst of being interrogated by authorities over Kercher's killing at the time—listed everyone she had been intimate with after being wrongly informed by police that she had contracted HIV. "I don't know where I could have gotten HIV from," she wrote. "Here is the list of people I've had sex with in general." Now, looking back at her diary, Knox wrote on X July 15, "After years of being vilified as a deviant sex monster, I couldn't help but internalize some of that shame, despite the fact that I knew there was nothing wrong with my sexuality (which was actually quite vanilla)."

And Knox was quick to clap back at the jab, reminding her troll why she wrote the diary entry in the first place. Yes, I slept with 7 people by age 20. (3 were serious boyfriends; 1 was Raffaele.) This was made public after police lied to me that I had HIV, then told me to write a list of my partners, then confiscated my diary and leaked it to the media. "I don't want to die," I wrote. Amanda Knox (@amandaknox) July 15, 2025 "Yes, I slept with 7 people by age 20. (3 were serious boyfriends; 1 was Raffaele.)," she replied in a second message on X July 15. "This was made public after police lied to me that I had HIV, then told me to write a list of my partners, then confiscated my diary and leaked it to the media. 'I don't want to die,' I wrote." Knox and Sollecito were convicted of Kercher's murder in 2009, before being acquitted and retried in a 2011 proceeding that she was also convicted in. The pair maintained their innocence throughout their incarceration, and were exonerated of all charges by Italy's highest court in 2015 after deeming the evidence contradictory and the investigation flawed from the start. In 2019, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that Knox's original interrogation by police violated her human rights and ordered the Italian legal system should pay her $20,000. While testifying in front of the European Court of Human Rights, Knox—whose complicated case has since been documented in the 2016 Netflix movie Amanda Knox—provided further insight into why the police interrogation was her "worst nightmare" while being questioned in a language she "barely knew." "When I couldn't remember the details, one of the officers gave me a little smack on the head and shouted, 'remember, remember,'" Knox—who is a mother to two children with husband Christopher Robinson—said in court in 2019, per NBC News. "And then I put together a jumble of memories and the police made me sign a statement. I was forced to submit. It had been a violation of my rights."
