According to Sapp, the film stars Emily Bett Rickards as Mildred Burke and is based on the book “Queen of the Ring” by Jeff Leen, a Pulitzer Prize-winning author. Aime Schoof and Isen Robbins are the producers, while the film is written and directed by Ash Avildsen.
Sapp wrote that Flair is set to play June Byers and Morgan will play Clara Mortensen. Josh Lucas (Billy Wolfe) and Marie Avgeropoulou (Babe Gordon) have also joined the film. WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross recently said on his podcast that he will be working on the film behind the scenes.
Flair has some experience in the acting world. Was inside Psych: The Movieand appeared inside Punky Brewster. Morgan had a brief appearance in the second season of the USA Network/SYFY series Chucky. It has also appeared in Total Divas and Jersey Shore: Family Vacation. Morgan will also be in the upcoming film The Kill Room.
Burke was a pioneer in the wrestling world and played a major role in the development of women’s wrestling. She held the NWA World Women’s Championship and was renamed after her. Burke was posthumously inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2016.
Flair is currently some ways away from WWE, while Morgan was injured on the May 12 episode of WWE SmackDown.
