Saraya-Jade Bevis, a talented English professional wrestler, currently signed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW) under her real name, Saraya. She is widely recognized for her remarkable work with WWE under the ring name Paige.
Paige's impressive wrestling career has seen her hold numerous championships, including being a two-time WWE Divas Champion and the inaugural NXT Women's Champion. She is the only woman to have ever held both the Divas and NXT Women's Championships simultaneously.
Bevis made her debut at the tender age of 13 in 2005, competing under the ring name Britani Knight for her family's World Association of Wrestling promotion. She went on to achieve great success on the European independent circuit, holding several championships.
After being scouted by WWE, Bevis signed with the company in 2011 and began her training in its developmental systems. She made her debut on Florida Championship Wrestling in 2012 and quickly made a name for herself with a winning streak in NXT.
Paige's main roster debut in 2014 was nothing short of phenomenal, as she won the Divas Championship at the age of 21, becoming the youngest Divas Champion in history.
However, Paige's wrestling career was not without its challenges. She took a hiatus in 2015 and 2016 due to injury, undergoing neck surgery in October 2016. In December 2017, she suffered an impact injury to the neck, which prevented her from competing further.
In 2018, Paige formally retired from in-ring competition at the age of 25, citing injuries as the reason. Despite her retirement, she has continued to contribute to WWE-related programs and has taken on managing roles.
Paige's achievements in the wrestling world are numerous, including being ranked No. 1 in Pro Wrestling Illustrated's Female 50 and being named Diva of the Year by Rolling Stone in 2014. She also received the WWE Year-End Award for General Manager of the Year in 2018.
Paige's story has been immortalized in a documentary, The Wrestlers: Fighting with My Family, which was produced by Channel 4 in 2012. The documentary was later adapted into the 2019 feature film Fighting with My Family, which showcased Paige's remarkable journey and her family's involvement in the world of professional wrestling.
