Hi, I'm Donna, the editor for WWE at EssentiallySports. I help our writers dot their i's, cross their t's, and ensure they get all their facts straight. I am particularly invested in the world of wrestling since it's unlike any other sport currently televised. The thought put behind orchestrating wacky storylines and building hype for months on end is incredible and something that I enjoy keeping track of. Particularly, I like the shenanigans Rhea Ripley and Dominik Mysterio get up to as part of The Judgment Day, as well as watching what up-and-coming talents have to offer over at NXT.

During my time at ES, I have been doing live coverage of WWE SmackDown which currently hosts our ?Head of the Table? Roman Reigns. Prior to this, I worked as a reporter for a national newspaper, covering investigative stories on education, space, science, and tech. While these might seem worlds apart, I still enjoy getting into the nitty gritty of stories here at ES, picking apart details and finding out facts about wrestlers that most would overlook. In my spare time, I enjoy delving into my hobbies: writing, drawing, or just goofing off with my cat.

Dwayne Johnson [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/the-rock/] was recently announced to star in a new upcoming film. Despite the huge line-up of Hollywood projects that he has yet to work on, Johnson has seemingly signed another deal with A24 to play the role of an MMA and wrestling veteran. Being a former wrestler himself, this would be of great importance to The Rock. The biopic will follow Mark Kerr. The name that could sound confusing to some new-generation MMA fans will sound familiar to the audience who has been watching the sport for a while. But now, everybody will get the chance to know Kerr more personally. DWAYNE JOHNSON TO TELL MARK KERR’S STORY UP-CLOSE In 2002, a documentary was released named The Smashing Machine which surrounded the professional life of Mark Kerr. Several years later, Seven Bucks Productions acquired the rights in 2019 while collaborating with Benny Safdie, the script writer for the upcoming movie about Kerr with the same name as before, The Smashing Machine.

Kaif Ali is a WWE writer at EssentiallySports and is a massive WWE enthusiast
and he won?t have it any other way. Confused about the third person narrative?
Well, what can you expect from someone who grew as a fan of Dwayne ?The Rock?
Johnson. I am also a John Cena fan and follow his ?Never Give Up? mantra when it
comes to my daily work life. Working as a writer at EssentiallySports has played
an integral part in rekindling my lost connection with the world of sports
especially pro wrestling. From watching my favorite stars in the ring to
covering the latest updates around them it has been one hell of a journey and
still going strong. Moving away from the in-ring exploits of wrestlers, if you
want to know about The Rock?s next big project, his upcoming Hollywood dates and
what is he planning with XFL, then I am your guy. Enough about wrestling(can?t
get enough) I like to unwind in my free time with guitar and dance to let myself
free! You can check in on me on my LinkedIn
