The only purpose of this movie is to extend WWE's marketing arm into the Netflix realm. The only purpose! I cannot think of any other reason why The Main Event exists. Go to Full Review Steve Pond TheWrap 04/13/2020
Fitfully amusing and doggedly heartwarming, albeit in ways you can see coming a mile off. Go to Full Review Nick Allen RogerEbert.com 04/10/2020
1.5/4
It's not about the hard work that's intrinsic with all of wrestling, so much as the WWE's open willingness to sacrifice its core values for lazy family-friendly amusement. Go to Full Review Dallas King Outtake Mag 11/11/2022
2/5
It is no Fighting With My Family but for hardcore wrestling fans, it makes for mildly entertaining viewing with your family. Go to Full Review Monique Jones Just Add Color 09/14/2021

Dillon D Jun 26 This movie was okay at most but it was just too kid friendly for a WRESTLING MOVIE it should have been like more fighting than teenage romance and evil wrestler overall it just felt like an average Disney movie and just too kid friendly for lifelong WWE fans See more Noah G Apr 22 This is the best Movie ever it has the greatest sport of all time in it Wrestling Every Scene is more iconic then the next I have Never seen a masterpiece like this movie before now if everyone can Give this movie a chance instead making a complaint on a screen like a troll See more André M Mar 6 It was a bit boring. See more Frank J 11/23/2024 Superhero meets WWE= One of the most enjoyable movies I have seen. See more Brody S 02/29/2024 I'm not sure how to feel about this movie. It was alright at some points of the movie, but there are definitely way more weak points. Smooth Operator is him, though.
