WWE Unreal Director Comments on “Major Goal” for Docuseries for WWE
The Miami Herald held a recent interview with WWE Unreal director Chris Weaver. One of the topics discussed included Weaver’s thoughts about WWE’s current major goal for their upcoming new docuseries on Netflix is to expand their audience on the service.
“I think that was a goal for WWE, for sure. They’ve seen how these behind-the-scenes follow-doc-series on Netflix have propelled leagues and athletes and opened up to new audiences. And I think that was a major goal for them, like ‘Hey, let’s see if we can get more people to watch this thing and expand our footprint, expand our audience, our fan base.’I know it’s been a polarizing discussion in the wrestling realm, but the next fan coming in is what we’re after. Bringing in new fans.”

Singer Ellie Price Comments on Def Rebel Used Her Vocal Sample & A.I. For Fatal Influence Entrance Theme
Singer Ellie Price announced on Instagram that she recently discovered the WWE’s Def Rebel had used her vocal sample for the creation of the entrance theme for Fatal Influence.
Price stated that Def Rebel took some of the samples from her pop-rock vocal sample pack on royalty free music website Splice. Price also believed that Def Rebel had used an A.I. program to create a similar but different melody and lyrics with the samples.
Price also gave her thoughts about the whole situation and while she is not upset, she had wished she people had known that she was the original vocalist used for the song.
“The be perfectly clear, they have done absolutely nothing wrong. This is what these samples are supposed to be used for and I’m stoked that I have come across it. Part of me does wish people knew it was me.”
Puroreso Ongaku’s Laila Carvallo had reported this past April that the vocals for the song were performed by Bianca Sperduti, who is a Def Rebel collaborator. Carvallo reported that while the vocals are not direct lyrical copies of any known sample, the melody, tone, and vocal delivery do match a royalty-free vocal sample on Splice. Carvallo also reported that it is clear that the “performance is built around that original sample, with only slight lyrical variation.”
