Born into a tight-knit wrestling family, Paige and her brother Zak are ecstatic when they get the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to try out for the WWE.

Paige's journey pushes her to dig deep and ultimately prove to the world that what makes her different is the very thing that can make her a star.

Notes
My quick rating - 5,6/10. Ok I have a lot of problems with this movie. First off, why wasn't it Paige in it? Second, if you use actors instead, why was the Rock in it. Now the story is about her life, and yes, she was raised in a wrestling family. This shows her road actually into her fame and her downfall. But it never really pulled you in unless you really understand how that world worked. It needed to explain far better what she had to go through. Her opponents in the movie were also bogus so that did not help. I can't say anything about her brother, would be spoiler, but the focus on that also was distracting. It does have some very nice performances by those in the movie. I would say if you are a fan of hers, or even WWE you will get something out of it, but if you care less about sports entertainment, you'll get nothing.
