This includes showing what really happened when a move didn't go as planned during the most recent Royal Rumble. WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes took on challenger Kevin Owens in a ladder match.

It was a brutal confrontation which left Owens bloody faced. However neither superstar walked away unscathed.

At some point in the match, Owens powerbombs Rhodes onto a ladder but footage from behind the scenes in the docuseries reveals it didn't go as intended. As Rhodes returns backstage following the conclusion of the match, Owens quickly asks his opponent if he is OK.

He says: "Are you OK, buddy? I'm so sorry about the bomb. Because I wanted the ladder to be so that you could just go straight, 'cause I can't see where I put you. But you put it the other way, so I kinda had to walk with you, and I didn't wanna put you too far, so then they looked like sh**. You ate it right on your neck. Are you okay?"

Footage from the match shows that Rhodes landed unexpectedly with such force that he sprung upwards into a standing position. He tells Owens: "I bounced into the nether realm on the suplex...I was blown away where I landed."

A producer then asks Rhodes how he is 'physically' to which he admits: "Terrible. But I'm not gonna bi*** and moan, and my legs work, my spine is not hurt, my neck is not hurt and I don't have a concussion. So those are my prerequisites for not complaining. So no complaints from me."

It is not the only real-world injury documented by the series as it also shows how Rhea Ripley made her comeback to win the Women's World Championship on Raw's Netflix debut.

A year previously Rhea, real name Demi Bennett describes when her 'whole year changed' during a backstage altercation with her rival Live Morgan.

Morgan is shown attacking Rhea in the hallways and throwing her into the wall. However, this lead to a serious injury for Ripley, so much so she dropped her persona.

Ripley says: "I have a third-grade AC sprain. I full on broke character as well in that scene. My collarbone and my shoulder blade got ripped apart, She had to kick me into the second wall, but my shoulder was already stuffed up, so I'm like , holding my arm.

"But then Liv gets on top of me and starts punching me in the bad shoulder and I was like 'Somebody please get her off me'.

She explains to the camera that she for now opted to not have surgery required to fix the injury. That is because it would double her recovery time from three months to six months, which she didn't want to do.

Paul Levesque, otherwise known as Triple H is then seen comforting her and telling her to keep her chin up.
