"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." [H/T Fightful]

Mercedes Mone talked about the subject of the recently released movie

In her Mone Mag newsletter, Mercedes Mone expressed her respect for Mildred Burke. The TBS Champion was also excited for everyone to watch the recently released film.

"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." [H/T Fightful]

Moreover, prominent wrestlers, such as Toni Storm, Britt Baker, Kamille, and Naomi, are starring in the movie, as mentioned earlier, and only time will tell if their work is praised.
