WWE: Made in America Documentary To Air Next Week After WWE Smackdown

WWE is set to air a new documentary as part of America’s 250th birthday next week after WWE Smackdown. Variety reports that the documentary, WWE: Made in America, will air on USA Network on May 29th immediately after Smackdown goes off the air.

The special will be hosted by Joe Tessitore and is directed by Matt Braine. Triple H, Lee Fitting, and Ben Hoouser executive produced the documentary, which will feature interviews with several WWE stars and legends including Triple H, Cody Rhodes, Jimmy Hart, The Undertaker, Booker T, Sgt. Slaughter, Kane, Matt Cardona, Carmelo Hayes, Nattie, Je’Von Evans, and Lilian Garcia, as well as reporter Erielle Reshef.

The synopsis notes that the doc will explore “the evolution of a regional business into a global powerhouse, examining how the company mirrored the American spirit across five decades — from the patriotic heroes of the 1980’s all the way through to the newest generation of superstars continuing to further WWE’s American legacy.”

The trailer kicks off with Triple H saying, “WWE and the USA go hand in hand because in many ways, I feel like we are America’s greatest export.” The trailer features clips of Kane, Cody Rhodes, Reshef and others talking about WWE’s rise. The late Hulk Hogan is also seen being interviewed in the trailer.
