WWE Network announces first non-pro wrestling documentary
The WWE Network’s first-ever non-pro wrestling documentary will premiere as part of Women’s History Month.
WWE has announced that “HEAVEN” will premiere on the WWE Network on Sunday, March 7. Here’s the description of the documentary:
HEAVEN tells the story of a trailblazing high school wrestler named Heaven Fitch. In 2020, as a junior, Fitch became the first female athlete to win a boy’s state wrestling championship in North Carolina, claiming the top spot in the 106-pound weight class. The film documents her inspiring journey up the ranks and the challenges she faced along the way, from proving doubters wrong to defying the odds and making history.
“HEAVEN” will be narrated by Beth Phoenix. The documentary will also include an introduction from Stephanie McMahon.
“The story of Heaven Fitch is the beginning of a new genre of storytelling for WWE Network Documentaries. She has inspired so many with her elite athleticism as well as her numerous accomplishments. We are excited to share Heaven’s championship story with the WWE Universe,” said Ben Houser, VP & Executive Producer, WWE Network Documentaries.
The documentary will be available to stream on the WWE Network starting at 10 a.m. Eastern time on March 7. It will be available on the free version of the WWE Network, along with WWE’s social media channels.
