Current Star Compares WWE Unreal To Popular Meme

WWE

A current main roster star has compared the Netflix behind-the-scenes series WWE Unreal to a popular meme.

WWE Unreal is set to return for season three later this year, Stephanie McMahon has recently shared her thoughts on the Netflix series.

During his recent appearance on What’s Your Story? With Stephanie McMahon, Oba Femi would also give his opinion on WWE Unreal, noting that ‘times are changing’ and using the popular 6-7 meme as a comparison, saying:

“It is a bit of a hot button, but for me, times are changing. As much as I love protecting what this is, I also understand that times are changing, and you don’t want to get left behind.

“I’m very big on letting the future play out. Even something as stupid as 6-7… The older people are like ‘It doesn’t mean anything,’ but I think like, in my day, when we had Vine and we used to quote Vine, people older than us were like ‘This is dumb, what are we doing.’

“Now I understand, I see we had our time, now it’s 6-7. I’m fine with 6-7, it doesn’t offend me. Sometimes I see it online, and I even laugh because I understand that’s where we are now.”

Femi would also discuss the frustrations he felt in NXT through the creative process and how he tackled those issues under the leadership of Shawn Michaels.

Setting The Scene With A Cultural Meme

The 6-7 meme came to popularity in 2025 and stemmed from the Skrilla song “Doot Doot (6 7)”, finding its audience through TikTok and Instagram after being seen in a viral video.

With Maverick Trevillian seen as the kickoff moment in March last year, the “6 7” meme would be accompanied by a hand gesture that resembles weighing two objects and an initial association with sports before crossing into the mainstream and being seen as “brainrot” by many.

While “6 7” itself doesn’t mean anything in the context of the song, its use with no context has led to much consternation, including in official settings such as schools and politics, only to pop up in commercial ventures by the likes of McDonald’s and video games, including Fortnite and Overwatch 2.

As popular as it may have been, 6-7 seems to be going the way of most memes, with a recent report by Yahoo suggesting it was falling out of favor.

Will WWE Unreal Go The Way Of 6-7?

A program that has seen its fair share of support and backlash, WWE Unreal finished its second season earlier this year with the same degree of analysis that its premiere faced, even before the first episode aired and is clearly doing something right on the business side of things to be renewed by Netflix.

Triple H would respond to critics of the behind-the-scenes show by noting the podcasts that cover all the goings on in WWE beyond the television screen.

The criticism still remains among fans and stars, past and present, but there has been an openness to WWE Unreal, with Chelsea Green previously stating, “we’ve got to progress forward“.

Premiering in July of last year, many top WWE stars have been involved in the Netflix series, despite some of those sharing past concerns, with season three set to focus on the retirement run of John Cena.

The series has also given arguably “unfiltered” focus to some recent controversial moments, with WWE stars addressing the brief release of R-Truth during season two.
