The 10 Coolest Things We Learned On WWE Untold

The WWE Network has created a lot of fantastic original content over the years, with different series' being made to give fans even more of an insight behind the curtains. WWE Untold has been one of the most popular that the company has done, giving a huge focus onto one specific match or moment with the people involved speaking about it in great detail.

It's something that has allowed the wrestlers to just openly talk about subjects, which are often major moments from their careers. Fans are happy to just listen to the stories, but every now and then there are cool details that get released which fans never knew about before, making them even more interesting.

10 Randy Orton Admits His Mistake

This show is particularly great because the wrestlers get to really open up and speak from the heart, which is what Randy Orton did during the episode about him and The Undertaker. He openly admitted to a big mistake he made prior to his WrestleMania encounter with the Deadman.

Orton revealed he actually missed the rehearsal that they were supposed to have, where he stood up 'Taker and his father. Orton took the time to apologize to The Undertaker, admitting that it was one of the biggest regrets of his career.

9 Edge Passed Out

One of the episodes of WWE Untold was based on the Unforgiven 2006 match between John Cena and Edge. Their rivalry was an epic one, and this match, in particular, was fantastic with both men truly pushing each other to their limits.

But what people don't know is how far they went in this match. When Cena locked in his STF submission finisher using the ladder, Edge was actually choked out. The ladder meant Cena's arms were in a different position and if people watch the match back, they can see the Rated-R Superstar pass out.

8 The Rated-R Championship

Edge and his Rated R Championship Cropped

In the same episode of WWE Untold, Edge actually revealed that he nearly got his own custom Rated-R Championship made during this feud. He even shared a drawing that he did where he mocked up what the title was going to look like.

Edge created the drawing because he was told that he was going to get his own specific title. He stated that he hated the spinner belt and didn't think it fit his character, but he was told that it would just be his logo going onto that, which is why this design never came to life.

7 Rey Visiting Eddie's Grave

The episode based on Rey Mysterio's rivalry with Eddie Guerrero was a very emotional one to watch, and it provided a lot of great information for fans of them both. One interesting note that Rey shared was the fact that he didn't visit Eddie's grave until 2019.

He found the entire situation too emotional to do before that, despite how close they were as friends. It was an emotional moment to hear him discuss it and what the visit meant to him, showcasing the love and respect he has for Eddie to this day.

6 Shawn Michaels' Polar Express Party

Shawn Michaels and Kurt Angle had an episode speaking about their classic WrestleMania encounter which was filled with plenty of fun details and interesting moments. But the coolest story was learning about what Shawn Michaels did after the show.

He revealed that he skipped the annual post-'Mania party that WWE puts on and instead went to his hotel room. Shawn spent the night with his wife and children, ordered pizza, and watched the Polar Express movie.

5 Eric Bischoff Tried To Buy WCW

WCW being sold to WWE remains one of the most newsworthy moments in the history of professional wrestling, but it actually almost didn't happen. During the WWE Untold that was based around the failed relaunch of the company, Eric Bischoff revealed that he actually tried to purchase the company himself.

He had got backers and even had a deal agreed in principal for him to take over the company completely. Of course, it didn't end up happening, but it's cool to know just how dedicated Bischoff was to his company.

4 Triple H vs. The Rock Was Booked

There have always been a lot of question marks over why Triple H beat Sting at WrestleMania 31 on The Icon's WWE debut. However, during the WWE Untold episode about that match it was revealed that the decision was made based on future plans.

According to Triple H, he was actually booked to wrestle against The Rock the following year at WrestleMania 32. The two men were supposed to have a match, and while that didn't actually happen, it was interesting that it was originally planned for the card.

3 Women Not Allowed To Do Dives

Sasha Banks and Bayley had one of the most iconic wrestling matches of all time at NXT Takeover: Brooklyn and one episode of the WWE Untold series was based on that. It was interesting to note that at that time, women were still being told not to do specific things.

Bayley and Sasha didn't rehearse their classic match, because Banks was late due to a Q&A she had to do first. However, they both admitted they were happy as they'd have been told not to do specific dives because they were only for men.

2 Al Snow's Importance

Al Snow is a fondly remembered star from the Attitude Era, but what a lot of people don't know is some of the backstage work that he put together during his time with the company. This was revealed during the episode of WWE Untold that focused on Shane McMahon's King of the Ring match with Kurt Angle.

Even though Kurt was obviously a top tier talent who could pull Shane to a great match, it was actually Al Snow who put this iconic match together. Shane had asked Snow to help in planning spots for the match, which is exactly what he did.

1 Team Friendship

Team Hell No arguing as Tag Team Champions

In the episode that focused on Team Hell No, both Daniel Bryan and Kane spoke about the naming of their tag team. It was something that fans actually chose and they had three options, with Team Teamwork and Team Friendship being the other two.

Interestingly, both men admitted that they wanted to be called Team Friendship and not Team Hell No. In fact, Bryan actually said he hated their name originally when they were first given it.
