Saraya is one of the biggest names in professional wrestling. Born into a successful wrestling family in Norwich, England, she left home at fifteen to forge her own path in the ring. Under the name Paige, she became the youngest WWE Divas Champion in history and was the subject of the hit 2019 film Fighting with My Family, written and directed by Stephen Merchant, in which she was portrayed by Florence Pugh.

Now competing in All Elite Wrestling as Saraya, she has battled through injuries, personal struggles, and the intense pressures of the industry to become an icon of resilience and reinvention. Outside of wrestling, she is a fierce advocate for domestic abuse survivors and women’s health issues. Now, in a highly anticipated memoir, Hell in Boots, she’s ready to tell her story like never before.
