Last night, the Dwayne Johnson-produced Paige biopic Fighting With My Family filmed one of its most pivotal scenes at The Staples Center in Los Angeles following the broadcast of RAW.
The scene in question takes place on April 7, 2014, the night after Wrestlemania 30, when Paige defeated AJ Lee for the Divas Championship on her first night on the main roster.
Here are some photos taken from the shoot:
A lot of fans seemed to be confused as to why Thea Trinidad, playing Divas Champion AJ Lee, wasn't dressed in similar gear.
There's been some chatter and speculation that because The Rock has never referred to the character as being "AJ Lee," just "our Divas Champion," perhaps Trinidad isn't really playing AJ, but rather an AJ/Nikki Bella amalgamation.
But if so, why have Trinidad enter to AJ's theme and Titantron?
Another discrepancy pointed out is that the fictional AJ didn't have a fictional Tamina with her, who was AJ's bodyguard at the time.
For reference, here's a YouTube clip of the match in question, and the promo that led up to it. How many intentional deviations from the original can you spot in the above photos?
Answer: It's a lot.
