Mike Johnson of PW Insider reports that WWE will be partnering with media giant Netflix for new original content. WWE will reportedly be producing original films for the media giant including The Main Event, which is due for release next summer. WWE Superstar John Cena is referenced in the script and reportedly set to make a cameo in that film. According to Johnson, the new movie also features roles for Sheamus, The Miz, and Bray Wyatt. The film’s script also references NXT talent.
Johnson provided a brief synopsis for the film:
The Main Event tells the story of a ten-year old boy who is bullied but dreams of growing up to become a WWE professional wrestler. However, he gets to live his dream earlier when he discovers the secret to having super-strength in his breakfast cereal, becoming “The Spaghetti Kid.”
Johnson also notes that The Main Event is in the early stages of casting and crew staffing. There is no current word on where filming will take place.
