Paige’s Father Drops The Rock Bombshell

The pro wrestling world is a dangerous business as pro wrestlers put their bodies on the line every week to entertain their fans. Their bodies go through a lot of wear and tear over the years and it is no shock if a pro wrestler gets injured at any moment during a match. This happened to several WWE Superstars as well, many of whom had to end their careers permanently. Paige also leaked a mugshot photo to WWE fans earlier in the year.

 


 

Earlier this year, Paige took to social media and shared that come July 7th, she became officially be a free agent as her time with WWE ended  The World Association of Wrestling promotion announced that Paige is scheduled to appear at their October 15th show in Paige’s hometown of Norwich. Paige last appeared for WAW in 2011. She was in action in November of that year and teamed with her mother to take on Allison Danger and Alex Windsor.

Former WWE Star Paige debuted on AEW Dynamite last week, where she came out as her real name of Saraya to a huge pop from the crowd.

In an interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling Senior Editor Bill Apter, Saraya’s father Ricky Knight revealed that he has never met The Rock in person. He also delivered the following message to the Hollywood star:

“I’d just like to say the man’s an icon and thank him for having faith in my family and getting that movie made,” Knight said. “That was his push, his foresight, believed in that movie. It changed our lives, not in a way financially so much, but elevated our company to where we are now. We’ve got our own arena. All these people joined us. We even get American tourists coming to see our facility because Paige was trained here.”

Sweet Saraya, her mother, said this as well:

“It’s a hard one because there’s quite a few that she’d be able to run with,” Sweet Saraya said. “It’s a shame because her and Becky would have had a good stint. I think her and Becky would have struck gold. It would be nice for her to wrestle Trish [Stratus]. As a spectacle, that would be cool. Obviously, if Madusa [Alundra Blayze] came out of retirement, that would be a personal favorite of mine even though, if she’s having one last match, she’s promised it to me.”
