What BBN said about it

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThis just in, and it's the story we promised: Variety reports WWE has teamed up with ReelShort on its first microdrama, called Agent of Shadows, starring Drew McIntyre.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorIt follows a secret agent who learns he has a daughter he never knew about, and now he has to protect her.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorIt's on ReelShort and social media right now.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentOne-minute episodes of a wrestler being a spy. I'd watch him find out about the kid in under forty seconds and then chair somebody.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA secret agent who didn't know he had a daughter. That is a lot of paperwork for one minute.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorA minute?
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorFirst the wrestlers go on your phone, then the phone goes into the ring, and by Friday somebody gets suplexed through your lock screen.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThen I'm buying the ringside seats, Dale, and the lock screen is front row.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorRex, are any of your athletes secretly spies, or is that just the kickers?
