A wrestling term. The combination of shoot (real) and work (fake). Shootwork is where something happen's where a fan doesn't know if it was planned or unscripted. This is occasionally used to create unpredictability and to spice things up..
Cena's take down of Reigns last week was a perfect example of a shootwork. Cena was dropping truth bombs yet still remaining in character.
