Saraya-Jade Bevis (born 17 August 1992) is an English professional wrestler currently signed to the WWE where she performs under the ring name Paige, where she is the current WWE Divas Champion in her first reign.
Bevis made her debut in 2005 in the World Association Of Wrestling, a promotion that her family runs, as Britani Knight. She went on to hold several regional championships on independent circuits inside and outside of England. In 2011, she signed a contract with the WWE under their now defunct developmental branch Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW), and eventually debuted on its main roster in April 2014. She was also the inaugural NXT Women's Champion of the company's developmental branch NXT, at one point holding both it and the Divas Championship from 7-21 April 2014.
Early life
Bevis was born and raised in Norwich, England. She grew up with her father, Ricky Knight and her mother, Julia Hamer-Bevis, who unintentionally wrestled while she was seven months pregnant. Bevis said that she was scared of wrestling because of the injuries her family received, but she was intrigued following their footsteps. When Bevis was 10 years old, her father ran a training school, the World Association Of Wrestling (WAW) Academy every month. She did that in three years, before making her debut.
When I got a little older, like, 10 or 11, my dad would run a training school every month, teaching people how to become wrestlers. I would get in the ring now and again and mess around with one of my brothers, and he’d teach me some stuff. I did that for a couple of years, until I was 13.
Professional wrestling career
European independent circuit (2005–2011)
She made her debut in 2005, at the age of 13 when her father, who was running the show, got her to replace a wrestler who failed to turn up. Her earliest recorded match was in April 2006 when she (with her ring name Britani Knight) teamed with her mother (ring name Sweet Saraya) 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 and they wrestled in multiple English promotions. The Norfolk Dolls won the World Association of Women's Wrestling (WAWW) Tag Team Title in June 2007, but it became inactive due to no title defenses 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, Wales, Belgium, France, Turkey, Denmark, Norway, 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. While wrestling by herself 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. On 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 again for their respective titles, but failed her in title bids; Knight then lost a three way match in August 2008 where the winner would become the number one contender for the RQW Women's Championship.
Knight achieved 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 defeated Saraya again to capture the WAWW British Title. Knight captured the Real Deal Wrestling (RDW) Women's Title from her mother in an elimination match in November also featuring Chelsey Love and Stacey Baybie. Also in that month, Knight retained her HEW Women's Title against her mother and Faith Lehaine. In December 2009, while in HEW, Knight won the RQW Women's Title by beating Jetta in a champion vs. champion match with her HEW Women's Title on the line. On May 2010, Knight and her mother challenged Amazon and Ananya for the PWF Ladies Tag Team Title which they won.
Knight eventually won an elimination match to become the first WAWW Hardcore Champion last January 2011. On 11 March, she once again took on her mother but this time it was for the HEW Women's Championship and her mother won. Knight returned to Pro Wrestling: EVE on 8 April to participate in a two-night tournament to crown the first ever Pro-Wrestling: EVE Champion. In the first night, she won a Last Chance Battle Royal, then defeated Jenny Sjödin in the quarter-final match. The next day, she defeated Jetta in the semi-final match, and later in the finals defeated Nikki Storm to win the Pro Wrestling: EVE Championship. But after two months, she lost the title at the XWA War On The Shore 7 event against Sjödin. Knight also lost the WAWW British Championship to Liberty in 19 November.
Shimmer Women Athletes (2011)
Bevis, again billed as Britani Knight, made her United States wrestling debut for the all-female promotion Shimmer Women Athletes on 26 March 2011. At the tapings of Volume 37, alongside her mother and tag team partner Saraya Knight (billed as the Knight Dynasty) were managed by the returning Rebecca Knox and made an open challenge, which was answered by Nikki Roxx and Ariel. The Knight Dynasty won via disqualification after the referee saw Roxx and Ariel using the Dynasty's brass knuckles. Later that same day, at the tapings of Volume 38, the Knight Dynasty unsuccessfully challenged the Seven Star Sisters (Hiroyo Matsumoto and Misaki Ohata) for the Shimmer Tag Team Championship. Because she will be going to Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW), Knight took part in her final Shimmer tapings on 1 and 2 October 2011. After several losses, which included the Knight Dynasty again failing to win the Shimmer Tag Team Championship for the second time, Saraya slapped Knight. This resulted in Knight brawling with her mother, before challenging her to a match. On Volume 44, Britani wrestled her final Shimmer match, defeating her mother in a no disqualification match.
World Wrestling Entertainment
Developmental territories (2011–2014)
Bevis was first informed that there will be try-outs in the WWE when a talent scout came to a show in England. She failed in her first try in November 2010 but succeeded in April 2011. In September 2011, Bevis had signed a contract with the WWE and would report to its developmental territory, Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW). Bevis made her debut for FCW at a house show on 5 January 2012, using the ring name Saraya. Bevis' ring name was then changed to Paige as she made her television debut in an appearance on 26 February episode of FCW TV. From March 2012, Paige formed an alliance with Sofia Cortez, dubbing themselves as the "Anti-Diva Army". On 19 March of FCW TV, Paige made her televised in-ring debut in a tag team match alongside Cortez, which the duo lost to Audrey Marie and Kaitlyn. Paige and Cortez then formed a brief association with Rick Victor in a win against Marie and Aiden English. On 6 May edition of FCW TV, Paige pinned the FCW Divas Champion, Raquel Diaz in a non-title triple threat match, which also involved Audrey Marie. This earned Paige a title shot against Diaz on 27 May episode of FCW TV, where Diaz's chicanery led to Paige being disqualified and Diaz retained her title. Dissension was teased within the Anti-Diva Army as Paige moved on to feud with Audrey Marie. Paige lost to Marie on 11 June on FCW TV after Cortez interfered against her, signalling the end of the alliance. On the final episode of FCW TV last 15 July, Paige and Marie ended their feud with Marie victorious in a no disqualification match.
WWE went on to rebrand its developmental territory FCW, into NXT Wrestling. Paige's NXT television debut took place on the third episode of the rebooted WWE NXT taped at Full Sail University, where she lost to Sofia Cortez. From September 2012, after gaining a large surge in crowd support, Paige went on a singles winning streak defeating the likes of Audrey Marie, Sasha Banks, Emma, Aksana and multiple wins over Alicia Fox.
On NXT last 30 January 2013, Paige was attacked by ring announcer Summer Rae due to Rae's jealousy of Paige's popularity and success. On the 13 February episode of NXT, Paige suffered a shoulder injury after brawling with Rae, which Rae exploited later that episode to end Paige's undefeated streak. After Paige continued to confront Rae, Paige finally faced off against Rae in a singles match on 1 May episode of NXT, where Paige emerged victorious despite Rae's pre-match attack. On 5 June of NXT, Paige defeated Tamina Snuka in the first round of the NXT Women's Championship tournament, and Alicia Fox in the semi-finals on 3 July episode of NXT. On the 20 June taping of NXT (which aired on 24 July), Paige defeated Emma to crowned the first-ever NXT Women's Champion.
Paige made her first successful title defense on the 14 August episode of NXT, defeating Summer Rae. In the following months, Paige teamed up with Emma to feud with Summer Rae and Sasha Banks. On December 4 of NXT, Paige successfully defended her title against Natalya. Also at NXT Arrival on 27 February 2014, Paige once again retained her title against Emma. On 24 April of NXT, because of her elevation to the WWE main roster and the winning of the WWE Divas Championship, Paige was forced to vacate her NXT Women's Championship, ending her reign at 308 days.
Divas Champion (2014–present)
Paige debuted on the main roster on the 7 April 2014 episode of Raw, the night after WrestleMania XXX. She congratulated WWE Divas Champion AJ Lee on her successful title defense at the pay-per-view event. AJ slapped Paige and challenged her to an immediate match with the championship on the line. It resulted with Paige quickly defeating AJ to capture her first Divas Championship reign. This resulted in Paige becoming the youngest WWE Divas Champion in history at the age of 21. Paige had her first successful title defense on the 28 April episode of Raw when her impromptu match with Brie Bella which went to a no contest due to an interference from Kane. She then enjoyed her first successful title defense on pay-per-view against Tamina Snuka last 4 May on Extreme Rules. She suffered her first main roster defeat on the 19 May episode of Raw to Alicia Fox in a non-title match. Because of the result, she defended and retained her title against Fox at Payback.
Personal life
Bevis is part of a professional wrestling family. Her parents, Julia Hamer-Bevis and Ricky Knight, are professional wrestlers, also her older brothers, Roy Bevis and Zak Frary. The family runs the World Association of Wrestling (WAW) promotion in Norwich, England. In July 2012, Channel 4 produced a documentary about them entitled The Wrestlers: Fighting with My Family.
Bevis said that it is amazing that her family are wrestlers. She also described her journey to the WWE was a "hard process". Bevis said that being part in NXT was "life-changing" because it helped her mature and build her confidence. Bevis added that she loves the job being a wrestler.
