Paige Reveals How Acid Trip Led To Her Being Named

I hope you’re not holding anything fragile, because I have some shocking news. Wrestlers don’t always use their real names when they wrestle.

Doudrop isn’t actually called Doudrop, and Paige is actually called Saraya-Jade Bevis.

Yes, Saraya is an unusual name, and Paige has now explained exactly how it came about on her Twitter account. After a fan commented on her name being unusual, Paige replied:

Thanks my mum got it from an acid trip at a concert misheard Slayer for Saraya and boom. A star is born. https://t.co/N8lNIDR3Am

I’m sure all our naming stories are the same.

There are growing rumours that Paige, who was forced into an early retirement in 2018 due to injuries, could be making a return at this weekend’s Royal Rumble.
