She was also the subject of the critically and commercially successful 2019 film Fighting with My Family, produced by Dwayne The Rock Johnson and starring Florence Pugh. But before ascending to wrestling superstardom, she was just Saraya.
Hell in Boots is Sarayas real, uncensored life story. From her early days in her famous (and chaotic) wrestling family, to leaving home at fifteen, to forging her own path in professional wrestling, Saraya has been through hell and back. As she fought to make it in the competitiveand at times sexistwrestling world, she faced incredible highs and devastating lows. Saraya recounts years of struggling with substance abuse, reclaiming her pride after an exs sex tape leaked, adjusting to stardom in the WWE, healing from a nearly career-ending injury, and making a triumphant return to wrestling as AEW Womens World Champion.
