Currently titled “The United States of America vs. Vince McMahon,” the series will be the first scripted portrayal of McMahon and many legendary figures of the WWE. Blumhouse will develop the series under the guidance of Blumhouse TV president Chris McCumber.

We have a dramatic, riveting saga – one that’s crazier than fiction – that will appeal to the cross-section of Blumhouse and WWE fans,” said McCumber, “To say I’m thrilled about collaborating again with WWE is an understatement.”

McCumber worked with McMahon for years during the former’s time as an executive at NBCUniversal, with whom WWE has longstanding ties. Most recently, WWE sold the exclusive streaming rights to their vast content library on WWE Network to NBCU streamer Peacock in a deal reportedly worth north of $1 billion.

McMahon has been at the helm of WWE for approximately four decades. During that time, he oversaw the expansion of the company into the dominant force in professional wrestling, bringing it to a national audience with an immense cultural impact. In addition to working behind the scenes, he began appearing onscreen as the Mr. McMahon character in the mid-1990s, famously feuding with top star Stone Cold Steve Austin among others.

well we can see this being partial, NOT!
