The first trailer for “Fighting With My Family” has dropped and the upcoming movie about Paige’s family produced by The Rock shows a lot of “The People’s Champ” in the footage.

“In 2012 I watched a documentary about a young, unknown British female pro wrestler & her wonderfully crazy family,” The Rock wrote on Twitter while revealing the trailer. “I loved it! It was a story that my [Seven Bucks Productions] had to tell. That girl [Paige] would go on to help redefine [WWE] women’s wrestling.”

As we previously reported, Zelina Vega is playing the part of AJ Lee in the film and can be seen for a brief moment in the footage. There’s also a shot of NXT UK wrestler Dave Mastiff.

The film — which is set to be released in February 2019 — also stars Nick Frost as Paige’s dad, Lena Headey as her mom and Vince Vaughn as Hutch (a WWE talent scout).

Paige To Alberto El Patron: “Don’t Make Fun Of Someone With Mental Health Issues” (AUDIO)

WWE star Paige has responded to former fiancé Alberto El Patron taking a shot at her mental health last month on social media, saying his comments hurt her feelings.

The SD Live GM made the comments during an interview with Lilian Garcia on the latest episode of “Chasing Glory.” During the conversation, Garcia brought up the post in which Del Rio compared his current girlfriend to Paige and said this one hasn’t been “committed in 2 mental hospitals.”

“Don’t make fun of someone who has mental health issues,” Paige said. “Because he knew at that point how depressed and how, like I was on rock bottom, and how I wanted to kill myself. He knew all that stuff. So to throw that out there like that — it’s pretty mean.”

Paige has gone on record about the dark spell she experienced after her XXX footage leaked online. That was followed by a tumultuous break-up with Del Rio that included a handful of incidents where police were called. The couple was engaged to be married but separated in 2017.

“I thought over a year of us not being together, I never expected him to bring me up again. So, I was just like, I’m not even going to respond to that right now,” she added.

Paige also says she didn’t immediately respond because she didn’t want Del Rio to know it hurt her.

“You don’t talk like that about a women — especially on the Internet for everyone to see. Just keep your mouth shut,” she told Garcia. “If you don’t like me, that’s fine. We haven’t had any contact for over a year. It baffles me.”

She went on to say she’s in a good place now and the happiest she’s been in quite sometime. Paige said she’s enjoyed using her personal experience to help other women who are struggling.

Paige also talks about her in-ring career ending during the full interview and so much more.

Sid Vicious Complains About Paige Being GM, Says She Should’ve Been Fired Over XXX Leaks, Paige’s Response

sid vicious sycho paige gm smackdown live complaints shoots video interview

Ex-WWF and WCW star Sid Vicious is unhappy with Paige being the GM on SmackDown Live, saying he believes she should’ve been fired over the hacked XXX footage that leaked online.

Sycho Sid was recently interviewed by The Hannibal TV and when asked about Paige’s role he said, “I think it’s the stupidest thing, but again … it goes to how the business is. When the business is down like it is, they’ll ok things like that.”

It’s worth mentioning here that the business is not down. WWE stocks are up and the company recently locked down a billion dollar television deal for SmackDown, where Paige is GM.

“After that, I wouldn’t have her on my show,” Sid said after implying she put the videos and pictures on the internet herself. “I would’ve fired her immediately.”

For those who don’t recall, Paige’s XXX content was hacked from her phone and computer.

The 57-year-old wrestler went on to suggest Paige should’ve been held to the same standard as Charlie Rose, who was fired by PBS for making unwanted sexual advances towards multiple women. This includes lewd phone calls, walking around naked in their presence or groping female co-workers … not “hanging around in his underwear” as Vicious states.

Sid — who once stabbed Arn Anderson with scissors — finished his thoughts on the topic saying, “Let them do dark matches or something, but don’t make them the GM of your show.”

Paige responded with the perfect GIF on Twitter:

The start of the video shows Paige taking a kick to the back from Banks. Paige struggled to get to her feet before falling to the mat, causing the referee to throw up the “X” injury signal and stop the match. A stretcher was brought out, however Paige was able to walk to the back with the help of the doctors.

Paige Had Injury Scare At WWE Live Event

Paige suffered what appeared to be a rib, shoulder or head injury during last night’s WWE live event on Long Island. The injury came from either a missed dropkick or a hard kick to the back from Sasha Banks. Apparently, Paige wasn’t ready for the move and it stunned her. The match was immediately stopped and a stretcher was brought out but Paige did walk out on her own.

Paige is apparently alright today as she was seen at the hotel bar after the show and was feeling better, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter . The early belief is that she just suffered a mild stinger.

No word yet on if Paige will miss any ring time.
