Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhile the film portrays the NXT crowd as somewhat against Paige, there were actually a lot of people who cheered her and recognized her from her family's independent wrestling promotion.
- GoofsPaige is seen as a young girl holding a homemade cardboard version of the WWE Divas title, however this title wasn't introduced until 2008, by which time Paige was 16.
- Quotes
Julia Knight: Dick me dead, and bury me pregnant.
- Crazy creditsThe scenes over the end credits come from the 2012 UK Channel 4 documentary 'The Wrestlers: Fighting With My Family'. This is supposedly the documentary The Rock saw that got him interested in producing a film about Paige's story.
- Alternate versionsIn order to obtain a PG-13 rating in the US, some swearing was edited out of the film. The Blu-ray included an R-rated 'director's cut' which restores the edits.

Featured review
I'm never been a big fan of professional wrestling, but Fighting with My Family does a good job of making you care about the characters, which, in turn, makes you care about their dreams of making it into the WWE. I was really impressed by the performances of Florence Pugh and Jack Lowden. Yes, this movie is largely fictionalized but, then again, so is pro wrestling.
