Paige

Saraya Jade Bevis (born 17 August 1992) is an English professional wrestler.

She is signed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW), where she performs mononymously as Saraya.

She is currently the leader of The Outcasts and is a former one-time AEW Women's World Champion.

She is also known for her time with WWE under the ring name Paige.

She was the youngest female champion in WWE history, a two-time WWE Divas Champion, and the inaugural NXT Women's Champion.

She also remains the only woman to hold both a WWE and NXT Women's Championship simultaneously.

Saraya Jade Bevis was born in Norwich on 17 August 1992, the daughter of professional wrestlers Julia Hamer-Bevis and Patrick Bevis.

Her older brother Zak, older half-brother Roy, and nephew Ricky are also wrestlers.

The family runs the World Association of Wrestling (WAW) promotion in Norwich, while her mother also owns and operates the female-only Bellatrix Female Warriors (BFW) promotion in Norwich.

Her mother once wrestled while unknowingly seven months pregnant with Bevis.

Bevis grew up in a council house in Norwich, where she attended The Hewett School.

As a child, she was scared of wrestling because of the injuries suffered by her family, and instead wanted to become a zoologist.

From the age of 10, she would occasionally get in the ring and fight her brothers while her father taught her wrestling moves.

Bevis' younger brother died when she was 13.

At the age of 15, she started working as a bouncer and bartender at her parents' pub while they were away for wrestling bookings.

In 2005, at the age of 13, Bevis made her debut under the ring name Britani Knight for her family's World Association of Wrestling (WAW) promotion.

She went on to hold several championships on the European independent circuit.

Bevis made her debut in 2005, at the age of 13, when her father, who was running a wrestling show, asked her to replace a wrestler who failed to turn up.

Her earliest recorded match was in April 2006 when she, using the ring name Britani Knight, teamed with her mother for a loss in a triple threat tag team match in World Association of Wrestling (WAW).

Knight then allied with Melodi to form a tag team called the Norfolk Dolls (based on the movie The California Dolls) and they wrestled in multiple English promotions.

The Norfolk Dolls won the new World Association of Women's Wrestling (WAWW) Tag Team Championship in June 2007 by defeating the Legion of Womb, but it became inactive due to no title defences by the Norfolk Dolls.

At the age of 14, Knight sent résumés to numerous wrestling promotions around Europe and earned a chance to wrestle in countries like Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Belgium, France, Turkey, Denmark, Norway, and Germany, as well as the United States, managing to travel by herself at 14.

She began to compete for singles championships without much initial success.

In Scotland, Knight competed for the World Wide Wrestling League (W3L) Women's Title, but lost to Sara in the tournament finals in September 2007.

In December 2007, Knight took part in a tournament where the winner would become the first WAWW British Champion, but lost in the finals to Jetta.

In 2008, Knight challenged both Sara and Jetta for their respective titles, but failed in her title bids.

Knight went on to achieve more singles success from 2009.

In August 2009, Knight defeated her mother Sweet Saraya in a two-out-of-three falls match to capture the vacant Herts and Essex (HEW) Women's Championship.

Later that month, Knight once again defeated Saraya to capture the WAWW British Championship.

In November 2009, Knight captured the Real Deal Wrestling (RDW) Women's Championship from her mother in an elimination match also featuring Chelsey Love and Stacey Baybie.

In December 2009, while in HEW, Knight won the RQW Women's Championship by defeating Jetta in a champion vs. champion match with her HEW Women's Championship on the line.

After talent scouting in England, WWE signed Bevis in 2011 and she began wrestling in its developmental systems, debuting in Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) in 2012 and later going on a winning streak in NXT.

In 2012, Channel 4 produced a documentary about Bevis and her family called The Wrestlers: Fighting with My Family, which was later adapted into the film Fighting with My Family (2019) starring Florence Pugh as Bevis.

She made her surprise debut on the main roster in 2014 and immediately won the Divas Championship, making her the youngest Divas Champion at the age of 21.

She ranked No. 1 in Pro Wrestling Illustrated's Female 50 in 2014, and was named Diva of the Year by Rolling Stone that same year.

In 2015 and 2016, Bevis went on hiatus due to injury, undergoing neck surgery in October 2016.

She suffered another neck injury in December 2017 that forced her into retirement.

Following her retirement, she remained with WWE as a contributor to WWE-related programs and fulfilled managing roles until her contract with the company expired in July 2022.

In September 2022, she signed with AEW and made her debut for the company at Grand Slam.

In 2018, she received the WWE Year-End Award for General Manager of the Year.
