If WWE Studios were to make a film version based on Square Enix's latest hit, here's who we'd cast

#4. Tifa Lockhart, as played by Paige

As Cloud Strife's childhood friend, Tifa Lockhart has a major role in the narrative of Final Fantasy VII. While not necessarily the love interest of the title's hero (it's a pretty complicated game), Tifa is a loyal friend and also a formidable fighter in her own right.

Driven by tragic events that saw her father killed and her hometown destroyed by a magically enhanced super-soldier-turned-absolute-goddamned-nightmare (more on him in a minute), Tifa dedicated her life to destroying the source of her pain - the Shinra Electric Power Co.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

Cutting a slim and athletic figure, Tifa carries a pugilistic battle style into combat in the game, along with a sense of agility and acrobatics. Her raven-dark hair and clothing are uncommon for a business owner (Tifa is the proprietor and general manager of the Seventh Heaven tavern, which also doubles as headquarters for AVALANCHE).

She has a lot in common with another WWE star with some previous general manager experience - former Diva's Champion Paige.

On top of having the same build and look as the Stunner from the Sector 7 Slums, Paige also carries herself with the same type of attitude and outlook of life. If you've ever seen Fighting With My Family, the Hollywood biopic produced by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson based on her life, you know that Paige hasn't had the most... conventional of lives. And that's putting it mildly.

We're certain that Paige - who was forced to retire from in-ring action in 2018 due to injuries - wouldn't mind returning to some major action in from of an audience once again. Especially considering she's a Twitch-streaming gamer herself.

Other candidates: Nikki Bella and Shotzi Blackheart

About the author

Kevin Christopher Sullivan has been writing online professionally since 1999, which makes him probably older than you. He's written for sites such as Uproxx and Austin.com. He's also performed stand-up comedy, attended Butt-Numb-A-Thon and E3, and owns some pretty cool t-shirts. He lives outside of Austin, TX with his wife, daughter and four annoying cats. And, yes, he knows who he has the same name as.

When he's not watching and writing about wrestling, he's probably playing video games, advocating for mental health issues, or yelling at something in his house for not "working the way it's supposed do, dang it!"
