Queen of the Ring, a biopic chronicling the life and career of wrestling pioneer Mildred Burke, premiered in theaters on March 7. The film featured crossover promotion with All Elite Wrestling (AEW), boasting performances from Kamille and Toni Storm, with Naomi also appearing in a supporting role.
Following its initial release, the film returned to select theaters in May and is now available on-demand.
As part of the promotional campaign, the film’s official social media account stirred controversy by posting, “The movie the WWE doesn’t want you to see.”
When asked why WWE would allegedly oppose the film, the account responded the following,
“You should ask them why they tried to block us from running TV ads during Raw (illegal), why they asked us to sponsor their events — we agreed to the financial deal — then they pulled us out last minute. This is just a glimpse into the sabotaging behavior. Perhaps we’ll expand on the intel.”
