Paige

WWE Superstar Paige is one of the most popular talents to ever work in the women’s division. Before the Women’s Revolution transformed the company, Paige was working her way up the ladder with highly physical matches while sporting her own unique style in the process.

Now the story of Paige’s life is coming to the big screen. Fighting With My Family is about Paige’s life growing up in a pro wrestling family and her ambitions to become a WWE Superstar.

The story centers on Paige and her brother Zak, who both tried out for Vince McMahon’s company. Of the two, Paige was the one to get the contract and her journey to pro wrestling stardom began. The film stars Florence Pugh as Paige, Jack Lowden as Zak and Shaun of the Dead star Nick Frost as Patrick, the patriarch of the family.

Paige is currently the General Manager of SmackDown Live, where she acts as an on-air authority figure. Paige’s ring career was unfortunately cut short due to a neck injury that was exacerbated by a kick from Sasha Banks in a December 2017 house show match.

Fighting With My Family promises to deliver a behind-the-scenes look at Paige’s rise in WWE. Whether or not her premature retirement from the ring will be addressed is unknown. The movie is directed by Stephen Merchant, who is perhaps best known for his work with comedian Ricky Gervais.
