11. She’s Following In Her Parents’ Footsteps
Paige is strong, beautiful, and a standout performer, but she didn’t just happen to stumble into professional wrestling by accident. She’s always been a longtime fan of the sport, but it was her parents, mother Julia Hamer-Bevis (aka Sweet Saraya) and father Ricky Knight, who were wrestlers, who gave their daughter a behind-the-scenes look at what it was like to treat it as a job.
The hot shot WWE Diva didn’t grow up with hopes and dreams of being the next Sweet Saraya, but she couldn’t fight the wrestling spirit in her blood and followed in her parents’ footsteps. Growing up she witnessed her parents coming home with mild to serious injuries and didn’t want any part of wrestling, opting to become a zoologist instead.
She began attending her father’s wrestling training school at around 11 years old and at thirteen she made her debut. With the help of her well-seasoned family members and professional trainers, her promising career lived up to its expectations.
Her brothers caught the professional wrestling bug, too. The UK Hooligans is comprised of Paige’s brother Zak Bevis, or Zak Zodiac, and her half-brother Roy Bevis, known as Zebra Kid.
