Fighting with My Family

Factual error: Saraya and Zak go to the tryouts at the O2. Saraya is 18 years old, so the scene has to take place in 2010 or 2011 (a poster backstage on NXT establishes she is in Florida in 2011). It's too early for the version of the WWE logo displayed in the road equipment at the O2 and pretty much everywhere else in the movie (like the performance center). That version of the logo was only adopted in 2014. The proper version would have been the 'scratch' logo. (00:20:35)

Factual error: Wandering backstage before their try-out session, Saraya and her brother look at the titantron set. However, the graphic used is the "SmackDown Live" logo that debuted in 2016, several years after the movie events. (00:20:45)

Sammo

Factual error: Saraya and her brother meet The Rock backstage during their tryout. He says he is in London because he is shooting a movie. Not the first or last liberties with history that the movie takes to shoehorn his producer into the story, but Dwayne Johnson in 2011 wasn't shooting any movie in London or the UK or anywhere near. This is probably inspired somewhat by the fact that The Rock noticed the documentary this movie is based on while shooting Hobbs & Shaw in London in 2017. (00:22:00)

Sammo

Factual error: Saraya is 18 when she gets picked up by WWE; it's 2011. When we see her pack her bags to leave for the States, there's a picture of her and her brother holding cardboard belts. The actors are the same used to play them at the beginning of the movie. However, the Diva Championship debuted in 2008, a mere couple of years before 'present day.' They are too young in that photo. (00:32:30)

Sammo

Factual error: For the last day of training before the Christmas holidays, the NXT bus stops at a gas station with food retail from Fastrip, which is a chain based on the West Coast (mostly California with some stores in Nevada and Arizona) and with no stores in Florida, where the training facility is supposed to be. (01:00:00)

Sammo

Factual error: Coach Hutch escorts Paige to an exclusive booth during WrestleMania XXX, taking place in 2014. In the corridor leading to the booth, far in the back, posters for Money in the Bank 2013 and Royal Rumble 2012 (which are fine), a poster with Randy Orton from No Mercy 2007 (a bit old but always a cool poster), and one with John Cena in Extreme Rules 2015 (that one is just impossible). (01:22:40)

Sammo

Factual error: The scenes set at Wrestlemania XXX (2014) were filmed at a RAW show in 2018 - fans are visible in the background wearing wrestling merchandise more recent than 2014.

Continuity mistake: When Zak and Saraya begin to argue over the TV, their dog is turned one way in the wide angle, and then the other way around after a brief cutaway shot. (00:01:10)

Trivia: At the end of the movie it shows Paige being flustered and unable to talk on the mic during her showdown with AJ Lee before the match started. In reality, Paige talked just fine and said she was there to congratulate AJ, who took offense at being interrupted.
