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.
