On a related note, the movie \"Fighting with My Family,\" was based on Saraya\'s life in pro wrestling. The movie was released in 2019. Also, the 2012 documentary \"The Wrestlers: Fighting with My Family,\" followed Saraya\'s career and journey to WWE while also showing her brother Zak failed to make it to the same level.
