Trailer Released for Biopic Queen of the Ring

The first teaser trailer for 'Queen of the Ring,' starring Emily Bett Rickards as pioneering wrestler Mildred Burke, has been released ahead of its March 2025 theatrical debut. The film chronicles Burke's journey as she challenges societal norms in the male-dominated world of wrestling during a time when women's wrestling was illegal across much of America. Written and directed by Ash Avildsen, the biopic is based on Jeff Leen's book and features a star-studded cast including Josh Lucas, Walton Goggins, and several professional wrestlers such as AEW's Toni Storm and Britt Baker. Burke's story highlights her rise to become the first million-dollar female athlete and her personal struggles, including her tumultuous relationship with her manager and ex-husband, Billy Wolfe. The film premiered at the Buffalo International Film Festival in October 2024 and aims to celebrate Burke's significant impact on the sport and culture. 'Queen of the Ring' promises to deliver an inspirational narrative of resilience and empowerment.
