John Cena Returns to WWE… For WWE Evil Documentary Series

WWE may not be able to get global entertainment superstar John Cena's body in the ring these days, but they can still get the next best thing: his voice narrating the new WWE and Peacock documentary series WWE Evil. In a press release, WWE revealed that the new series,  first announced last May, will debut later this month. WWE Evil, also created and produced by Cena, will offer "an inside look at WWE's greatest villains." In addition to apparently featuring a kayfabe exploration of Ric Flair, who has been persona non grata in the wrestling business since that episode of Dark Side of the Ring finally got him canceled for alleged behavior that, up until that point, had been celebrated by WWE in various documentaries and storylines, the list of characters featured stretches the definition a bit for what constitutes a "WWE villain" by including Hollywood Hulk Hogan, whose time as a heel occurred mostly in WCW, though few would doubt The Hulkster qualifies as a villain behind the scenes.

Here's the synopsis from the press release:

Created and hosted by John Cena, the 8-part docu-series is the latest expansion of WWE programming on Peacock, and the first-ever original from WWE Studios. Taking an unprecedented look inside the psyche of the most diabolical antagonists in WWE, the series unveils the Superstars' impact on mainstream culture.

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.

And here's the list of episodes:

EPISODE 1 – "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan: Hulk Hogan goes "Hollywood", betraying his fans and beliefs to become the personification of evil.
EPISODE 2 – The Miz: From reality star to Superstar; Mike Mizanin took fame to new heights with his villainous alter-ego, The Miz.
EPISODE 3 – Sasha Banks: There's a villain inside all of us. Sasha Banks unleashes hers to become "The Boss".
EPISODE 4 – Brothers of Destruction: Brothers and sworn enemies The Undertaker and Kane align to become the ultimate evil duo in WWE.
EPISODE 5 – Randy Orton: Randy Orton's "evil" evolution into the "Legend Killer" unleashes the true demons lurking within.
EPISODE 6 – Stephanie McMahon: Stephanie McMahon steps out of her father's shadow to forge a legacy of power and corruption in WWE.
EPISODE 7 – Ric Flair: Witness how the "Dirtiest Player in the Game" Ric Flair became one of WWE's greatest villains.
EPISODE 8 – Roman Reigns: From hated good guy to beloved bad guy; Roman Reigns finds new life by embracing his dark side.

WWE Evil will debut on March 24th on Peacock. You can watch a trailer below:
