![]() While the excitement surrounding the match has dimmed somewhat, as Toni Storm has been preemptively announced as Saraya's partner either as a swerve or a way to ease the disappointment some fans may feel, Saraya has found herself back in the news in a pretty big way not for what's forthcoming but what could have almost been, as she let it slip to Metro UK that none other than Paul “Triple H” Levesque had big plans for her under his regime had she stuck around. ![]() ![]() For a movie about wrestling, fake and yet at times more honest than the real world, that couldn't be more fitting.It's (almost) here, it's (almost) here after weeks of anticipation, fans of AEW will finally find out whether or not Saraya, the former two-time WWE Divas Champion, is able to pull some Monè out of her hat and bank on adding another marketable star to the women's division. Together, they make Merchant's fictions more exciting than the truth. There's urgency to her performance that's mellowed out by Vaughn's coarse world-weariness. Pugh's winning blend of insouciance and poise-key to her work in movies like Lady Macbeth-emphasizes that underdog element, making her a young aspirant who's easy to root for. He knows that Fighting with My Family works better through dramatization, and that great drama demands a greater underdog. Merchant just happens to be equally as shrewd.

Former WWE wrestlers have accused DeMott of all sorts of disturbing behavior, including physical and emotional abuse. Though various reviews have made the link between Hutch and DeMott, the character doesn't officially represent the trainer-and for good reason. Hutch is Paige's foil, the failed wrestler turned trainer for stars with brighter futures he’s also made up, a character borrowing bits and pieces from current NXT trainer Matt Bloom as well as ex-NXT trainer Bill DeMott. That’s where Merchant spends most of his time with Pugh and co-star Vince Vaughn, playing Paige’s NXT coach, Hutch Morgan. ![]() The real Paige went to Florida Championship Wrestling, the WWE’s farm program at the time before rebranding FCW as NXT in 2012.
