From wrestling rings to cinema screens—and now theatre stages, a fan-favourite story is getting a new creative twist.
Dwayne Johnson’s 2019 comedy-drama Fighting With My Family is officially being adapted into a stage musical, expanding the life of the film beyond Hollywood.
The original movie, which told the inspiring real-life story of WWE star Paige and her wrestling family, became a surprise hit for its mix of humour, heart, and sports drama. Now, producers are aiming to bring that same energy to live theatre, blending music, performance, and wrestling-inspired storytelling for a stage audience.
Industry observers say the adaptation reflects a growing trend of turning successful films into musicals, as producers look to tap into existing fan bases while offering fresh creative experiences. The stage version is expected to retain the film’s emotional core—family struggles, ambition, and the fight for success—while adding musical numbers and live performance spectacle.
Fans of the original film have already begun reacting online, with many expressing excitement at seeing the story reimagined in a completely new format.
