Saraya on Wrestling Family, Drug Abuse, and The Rock

Pro AEW wrestler Saraya (formerly known as Paige in WWE) talks with Rachel and Olivia about how a fateful meeting with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson changed her life, growing up in a family devoted to wrestling, and having her life story played out by Florence Pugh in Fighting with My Family. They also discuss Saraya’s mildly horrifying experience with endometriosis, alcoholism and drug abuse, and whether wrestling is always predetermined.

She comes from a very dysfunctional family. So good for her for being able to overcome the problems that come with that.

Imagine being able to say that Florence Pugh played you in the movie of your life.
