WWE Confidential was a professional wrestling television program produced by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). It aired on Spike TV late Saturday nights, following Velocity, from 2002 to 2004. It was hosted by Gene Okerlund.[1]

Format

Confidential was a unique program for the company, in that it was not a standard "live event" or "recap" show. Rather, it offered an exclusive, "behind the scenes" look into WWE and its talent, both in-ring and otherwise.[1] The show also periodically broke kayfabe and used professional wrestling slang. Confidential was discontinued in 2004 and was replaced with The WWE Experience, a more traditional weekly summary show.

A similar show to Confidential eventually returned under the name WWE Outside the Ring, but in a shortened version.[2] The new online show debuted February 2012 on WWE's YouTube channel and has since been aired on Thursdays.[3]

Following the launch of the WWE Network on February 2014, selected segments from Confidential episodes have aired as interstitials on the 24/7 live stream.
