The Associated Press reports that William Shatner is set to narrate all ten episodes of
WWE’s new series Breaking Ground. The series will be a behind-the-scenes look at the wrestlers working in
NXTand the WWE Performance Center to get to the main roster. The series debuts on Facebook and Youtube after Hell in a Cell on Sunday, followed by a debut on the
WWE Network after
RAW. The show will look at how wrestlers train and prepare their characters for WWE, as well as how
Triple H and NXT trainers evaluate talent.
Executive producer Kevin Dunn said:
“I wouldn’t say we’re pulling back the curtain at all. We’re telling real stories of these real people and the hardships and difficulty of making it to theWWE. I don’t think we’re giving it away. You’re just going to see how this process actually works. It’s not about NXT. It’s about making it to the WWE. I think new is always interesting on any level, especially when you have new stars on any TV show.”
