Saraya Bevis, the British professional wrestler widely known as Paige, has one of the most inspiring stories in wrestling. After being forced into early retirement in December 2017 due to a severe neck injury suffered during a house show match against Sasha Banks, the stunning wrestling sensation made a remarkable comeback by signing with All Elite Wrestling (AEW) under the ring name Saraya. She later made her surprise return to WWE at WrestleMania 42.
Hailing from Norwich, England, Paige was born into a family with a well-known wrestling background. She became one of the few wrestlers in history to win championship gold on her very first day on WWE’s main roster. On the RAW after WrestleMania 30, she defeated AJ Lee in an impromptu match to capture the Divas Championship.

Some Less Known Facts
- Her mother, the wrestler Sweet Saraya, continued wrestling while unknowingly pregnant with her until she was about seven to eight months along. Paige has often joked that she took her “first bump” as a fetus.
- She debuted in the ring at just 13 years old in 2005 for her family’s promotion, the World Association of Wrestling (WAW). She was asked to fill in when another wrestler no-showed. Her first match was a tag team bout with her mother, under the ring name Britani Knight. Her father chose the name “Britani” because her blonde hair as a child reminded him of Britney Spears.
- As a teenager, she worked as a bouncer (and sometimes as a bartender) at her parents’ pub in Norwich, England.
- She was initially rejected at her first WWE tryout in 2010 but succeeded on her second attempt in 2011, earning a developmental contract.
- She once owned a coffee company called The Dark Gypsy, which was a joint venture with partners from the Blackcraft Cult clothing brand.
