In July 2026, a YouTube channel known as Synthetic Kayfabe released a video featuring various past and present WWE stars cast into the roles of the classic sitcom Full House. The parody, titled Full House: WWE Edition, uses artificial intelligence to recreate the show's iconic opening sequence with a wrestling-themed cast.
What happened
The video, uploaded on July 25, 2026, utilizes AI synthesis to map WWE personalities onto the characters of the 1980s television series. The artificial cast includes Cody Rhodes as family patriarch Danny Tanner, Shawn Michaels as Jesse Katsopolis, and Sami Zayn as Joey Gladstone. The younger characters are portrayed by Rhea Ripley as D.J. Tanner, Liv Morgan as Stephanie Tanner, and Alexa Bliss as Michelle Tanner. Additionally, Torrie Wilson appears as Rebecca Donaldson, while the role of Kimmy Gibbler is filled by an AI-generated Chelsea Green.
Synthetic Kayfabe, a channel that joined YouTube in 2024, describes itself as a random wrestling outlet and has produced over 60 videos, primarily consisting of shorts. While AI-generated media has faced significant criticism from entertainment industry figures and fans regarding ethics and authenticity, the reception to this specific parody was largely positive among viewers, with some commenters expressing interest in watching a full series featuring these AI-generated portrayals.
