Originally slated to feature prominent WWE stars in significant roles, the production faced a setback as both Charlotte Flair and Liv Morgan had to withdraw from their roles due to various reasons. Flair, the former WWE Women's Champion, was initially set to portray June Byers, one of Burke's legendary opponents. However, her busy schedule preparing for a high-stakes triple threat match for the WWE Women's Championship at SummerSlam against Asuka and Bianca Belair, along with a packed roster of shows and promotional commitments, made it impossible for her to participate in the movie.
Similarly, Liv Morgan, who was set to play Clara Mortensen, another renowned wrestler from Burke's era, had to step back after sustaining a shoulder injury during a WWE match against Rhea Ripley. This injury added to her recent loss of the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship, making her participation in the biopic unfeasible.
