Backstage footage shown at the end of season two saw Cena in conversation with Triple H before his final match, Triple H talking to the writer&#8217;s room to ensure everything was perfect for Cena&#8217;s retirement, and Cena embracing with both Cody Rhodes and CM Punk after he tapped out to Gunther to end his career.<\/p>\n<h3>How many episodes will there be?<\/h3>\n<p>Seasons one and two of WWE Unreal included five 50-minute episodes and while the episode order and runtime haven&#8217;t been confirmed, it&#8217;s safe to assume WWE Unreal season three will follow the same format as the previous two installments.<\/p>\n<p><strong><b>More From LWOS Pro Wrestling<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><i>Header photo \u2013 WWE \u2013 Stay tuned to the\u00a0<\/i><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_self\"><em><u><i>Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/i><\/u><\/em><\/a><em><i> for more on WWE Unreal season three, and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
