Paige meets the actress who plays her, Florence Pugh, for the first time as they share their experience and elation over the release of "Fighting with My Family," in theaters now. Courtesy of "This Week" on WWE Network.
That's right, The Rock's new film, Fighting With My Family,
showcases the inspiring career of our very own Paige.
It's in theaters everywhere, but we've got a special look at the cast
who brought that story to life.
Starting off with the very first time Paige met Florence Pugh,
who had just finished shooting her portrayal of the British bombshell.
I'm actually quite nervous, that's crazy.
Oh my God, where is she, where is she, where is she, where is she?
I don't know if we can cuss or not though.
Oh my God, this is so weird.
You look so blonde, you're not even me anymore.
Who the hell are you?
Yeah, I'm good, how are you?
This is so bizarre.
I know.
But kind of cool.
You did me.
I did you.
It blows my mind to get to this point, 26, to have a freaking movie made about you.
Like how cool is that?
And this is a real underdog story of a girl who came up through London.
Hello?
My name is Hutch Morgan, I'm calling from WWE.
Started wrestling at 13 in the rough side of town.
We'd like both of you to come try out for us.
It's all fake anyway, isn't it?
What?
Seeing how they did Nick Frost as my dad, I can't believe it.
It's Dwayne Johnson, how are you?
Yeah, and I'm Vin Diesel, mate.
The hardest thing about it is just trying not to laugh yourself.
I was like, wow, what a star cast that we have right now.
Have you done Coke, crack and heroin?
Not combined.
Everything that she did was just my mum to a T.
Sorry about that.
What's so wrong?
You know, it was kind of like acting with a president.
My name is...
It doesn't matter what your names are!
You walk around here in a rough in the rock, you like you haven't seen the sun in 20 years?
You like you just stepped out of Oliver Twist?
Four years later, I'm still like stuttering when I speak to him.
I'm just like, hey Dwayne, how's it going?
So that's how you win over the crowd.
Eat me!
No thanks, I'm trying to bulk up.
I watched Florence do a routine in the ring, she's really impressive.
She's just got that same fearlessness.
We don't like wrestling.
How do you know if you've ever been?
I've never had rectal bleeding before, but I'm pretty sure I'm not a fan of that.
How about I shove her head up your ass and then we can find out?
Please describe how you think I did betraying you.
Terrible.
See, that's a lie!
I'm lying!
To be thrown into the deep end like that, she did a great job.
You nailed it.
You have to do it justice, because this is a real person.
And she has such a spectacular story, a weird story.
You're not just doing this for you, you're doing it for the family.
My family are crazy, but I think everyone's going to fall in love with that family.
My little sister just got signed by the WWE.
I have no idea who I'm supposed to be out there.
Being different is everyone's superpower, and that was my superpower.
So don't worry about being the next me, be the first you.
Even though many of them will know her story already,
I don't think they'll have known how sort of unexpectedly emotional it is.
Do you know what it's like to want one thing in life,
and then your own sister takes it away from you?
It was my dream too!
The characters are larger than life, the stories, the drama.
The Rock wants you to go out there and take no prisoners,
have no regrets, have no fear!
Lay it all out on the line!
I wrestled with this one in the film.
And I won.
Yes, you did.
Take in the emotional journey that Paige endured
before she became the superstar we know and love.
It's Fighting With My Family in theaters everywhere today.
