Former WWE Superstar Paige reveals an interesting story behind her name
WWE Superstar Paige, also known as Saraya outside the squared circle, recently revealed the interesting story behind how her mother selected the name.
After an early retirement due to injury, she currently serves as an ambassador for WWE. Her last TV appearance was in 2020 when she confronted SmackDown Women's Champion Bayley and Sasha Banks, announcing the former will defend her title in a six-way elimination match at WrestleMania 36.
A fan recently complimented the former Divas Champion on Twitter, stating he loves her name despite it being unusual.
As a response, the former RAW Superstar stated that her mother got the name from "an acid trip at a concert" where she misheard Slayer for Saraya.
Thanks my mum got it from an acid trip at a concert. misheard Slayer for Saraya and boom. A star is born," Paige tweeted.
