"Queen of the Ring" tells the story of Mildred Burke, the first-ever NWA Women's Champion and a pioneer in women's wrestling.
The films stars wrestlers Kamille, Toni Storm, and Naomi.
Writing in her Mone Mag, Mercedes Mone said she was approached to be part of the project, but was sidelined with an injury.
Before AEW Revolution, I made my way to LA for the red carpet premiere of "Queen of the Ring," a film that tells the incredible story of Mildred Burke. It's truly surreal for me. A couple of years back, I was approached to be a part of this project, but unfortunately, I was sidelined due to an injury. However, seeing my girls Trinity, Toni Storm, and Kamille shine in this film fills me with so much joy.
Let's be real: women have always had to work ten times harder than men to get noticed in this industry. And when you look back at Mildred Burke's era—wow! It was a whole different ballgame. I have immense respect for the trailblazers who laid the groundwork for women like me to build empires in this sport. I'm beyond excited for everyone to see this movie and to continue embracing women's wrestling in all its glory.
And, of course, you know I had to bring the heat on the red carpet! Anytime there's a chance to showcase my style, I'm all in. This time, I channeled a 90s vibe with a touch of Pamela Anderson. My amazing makeup and hair artist absolutely nailed it!
So don't forget to hit the theaters and catch "Queen of the Ring."
