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
Fighting With My Family was for sure worth the hype. As a long time fan of Paige and the Knight family, I was very excited to see this film and it did not disappoint. Florence Pugh did an amazing job portraying Paige to the point that you would think they are twins. The story itself is very heartwarming and incredible. Fighting With My Family is for sure a must see.
