Paige is a fan of the TV series Charmed and used one character’s name for her WWE character
It is a known fact that most WWE and wrestling stars use a ring name and not their real one.
There are many reasons for that ranging from trademark issues to names suiting their character. The Undertaker wouldn’t be the Phenom if he decided to use his real name, Mark Calaway, and that is the same for Paige too.
Saraya Bevis, known as Paige during her WWE time, had a couple of names during her wrestling career.
However, Paige is the one that stuck as the Anti-Diva took the WWE and NXT world by storm. She is a former NXT and Divas champion but had to cut short her in-ring career after suffering a couple of serious injuries.
Paige has since found a great following on social media thanks to her Twitch streams and regularly interacts with her fans.
A couple of fans wanted to ask her about her name. While Paige opened up about the Saraya name, she was also frustrated regarding the background of her WWE name:

Charmed was one of the earlier hit shows where all three lead female characters were witches. Rose McGowan was named Paige, and that is how the name came into being.
Tough times for Paige
Things haven’t been all that great for Paige on the personal front. She first lashed out at WWE over their policy of stopping stars from streaming under their character names.
Further, she also brought up how streaming helped her survive in the world since she couldn’t wrestle any more.
However, worse was to follow as a stalker had reached her home recently. Ronnie Radke, Paige’s boyfriend, was able to subdue the threat until the police came.
Paige added that she and her boyfriend were fine but this was a crazy moment. The pair had only shifted to a new home recently and this wasn’t a great experience for either of them.
