Just days after WrestleMania 40, WWE will be debuting a documentary on how the show came together.

Right after night one of WrestleMania ended, a trailer aired announcing that a "WrestleMania 40: Behind the Curtain" documentary will premiere on YouTube this coming Wednesday (April 10). It's focused on the lead-up to WrestleMania and the pivot that was made with the main event picture.

After Cody Rhodes gave up his WrestleMania title shot to Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, there was a fan backlash that resulted in WWE deciding to change its plans. Rhodes regained his night two main event spot and will challenge Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship this Sunday.

The Rock changed his character as part of the pivot, becoming a heel for the first time in two decades.

Interviews with Rhodes, The Rock, Reigns, Seth Rollins, and Paul "Triple H" Levesque are featured in the documentary.

"We pivot in a way that blurs the lines between fiction and reality," Levesque said in the trailer.

"Becoming this new version has been the most gratifying decision," The Rock said about his heel turn.

The Rock & Reigns defeated Rhodes & Rollins in the WrestleMania 40 night one main event on Saturday. It was Rock's first real match since 2013.

Rock & Reigns winning means that Reigns vs. Rhodes on night two will now be a Bloodline Rules (anything goes) match.

Earlier this week, ESPN published an article delving into the inside story of WWE's WrestleMania main event pivot.
