Florence Pugh, who is currently starring in the BBC One spy-espionage thriller 'The Little Drummer Girl', is showing off her wrestling skills in the trailer of the Dwayne Johnson-starring movie 'Fighting With My Family'.

The trailer comes just a few hours after WWE star, Paige, declared her apparent retirement from the wrestling ring on social media as she fears that one more blow in the ring might paralyze her for the lifetime. Based on Paige's life, Pugh is taking up the character of the Brit wrestler who is now the on-screen general manager of the SmackDown brand.
