A few of WWE’s larger-than-life personalities shall be featured in a bite-sized video project.
Today, WWE confirmed a brand new partnership with ReelShort, the world’s leading microdrama platform, that can bring original live-action microdramas to fans worldwide. The collaboration will see WWE names, equivalent to former Undisputed WWE Champion Drew McIntyre, Jacob Fatu, and Joe Hendry, along with ReelShort’s Marc Herrmann and Chase Mattson starring in a mobile-storytelling series set to start production in August. The series itself is predicted to debut sometime within the early fall of 2026.
“By bringing WWE Superstars into the ReelShort cinematic world, we’re making a recent storytelling experience for the WWE Universe, while reaching a fresh audience with premium content on ReelShort’s progressive platform,” said WWEs Head of Original Content and Development Ben Houser.
The storyline behind the upcoming microdrama has yet to be unveiled. For McIntyre, it can add one more tick of on-camera work to his skilled resume, which in recent times has included roles in “The Killer’s Game” and “Highlander.” “The Scottish Warrior’s” latest project will see him share the silver screen with Academy Award winning actor Russell Crowe in “The Last Druid.” Filming for it’s ongoing in Spain.
Sammie Hao, the Head of Talent and Business Development of ReelShort, further hyped the ReelShort-WWE partnership by saying “Brand partnerships are evolving beyond product placement. We’re creating entertainment ecosystems where brands, talent, and storytelling come together to construct cultural moments that audiences actively engage with and share.” ReelShort is currently available in greater than 100 countries, with greater than 70 million energetic users on its platform monthly.
