Arnold Schwarzenegger is on great terms with WWE for several years now. It’s been a long time since the ‘Austrian Oak’ appeared in the company or for a WWE event. However, irrespective of that, recently the Stamford-based promotion promoted Schwarzenegger’s upcoming Netflix series FUBAR. Additionally, a top match at WWE Backlash was presented by this new upcoming Netflix Spy-adventure series.

But it seems it did not impress the fans as the company promoted the series during Backlash PLE.

Furthermore, during the show, they showed an advertisement featuring Butch and Ridge Holland. The SmackDown stars talked about the trailer of the upcoming show and it was WWE’s way of promoting the show that will release on May 25th, 2023.

FUBAR stands as an abbreviation for F**ked Up Beyond All Repair/Recognition. As per Netflix, the plot of the series is, “When a father and daughter discover they both secretly work for the CIA, an already dicey undercover mission turns into a dysfunctional family affair.”
