Wrestling History

Paige


Saraya-Jade Bevis (born 17 August 1992) is an English professional wrestler. She is currently signed to WWE, where she performs under the ring name Paige.

Bevis made her debut in 2005 in the World Association Of Wrestling, a promotion that her family runs, as Britani Knight. She went on to hold several championships on independent circuits within Europe. In 2011, she signed a contract with WWE and started wrestling within its developmental systems. Paige eventually debuted on WWE's main roster in April 2014.

Bevis was the inaugural NXT Women's Champion of the company's developmental branch NXT and also a two-time WWE Divas Champion, at one point holding both titles concurrently from 7 April 2014 – 24 April 2014.


Bevis is part of a professional wrestling family. Her parents, Julia Hamer-Bevis and Ian Bevis, and her older brothers, Roy Bevis and Zak Frary, are professional wrestlers. The family runs the World Association of Wrestling (WAW) promotion in Norwich. Her mother owns and operates Bellatrix Female Warriors, a women's wrestling promotion also based in Norwich.

 In July 2012, Channel 4 produced a documentary about Bevis and her family entitled The Wrestlers: Fighting with My Family. In October 2014, Bevis made her video game debut as a downloadable character in WWE 2K15.
 

On the Total Divas reality television show, Paige acknowledged having previously "been with" another woman.

Adam Rose


Raymond Leppan (born 20 July 1979) is a South African professional wrestler. He is signed to WWE, where he performs under the ring name Adam Rose. He is a former two-time FCW Florida Heavyweight Champion under the ring name Leo Kruger.

 
Leppan debuted as a professional wrestler at the age of 16 in South Africa where he wrestled from 1995 to 2010. That is when he was signed by the WWE. Leppan worked in the WWE developmental territories from 2010 to 2014. He wrestled as Leo Kruger and was making a name for himself on NXT. 

 Leppan was then removed from television, and began wrestling at house shows as a new character called Adam Rose. As Rose, he returned to television on the 6 March 2014 episode of NXT, with his new character being an organizer of parties with various colorful costumed party-goers, who accompany him during his ring entrance. Rose's supporters are called Rosebuds. The Rose character is based loosely off of comedian Russell Brand.

When 2K Sports were doing a Q&A with their fans, Adam Rose and The Bunny were confirmed to be downloadable content for the video game WWE 2K15, as a part of the NXT Arrival pack. This pack will be available in February 2015.


For the 2014–15 season, the Ottawa Senators of the NHL utilized Adam Rose's entry theme as part of the team's goal horn.


Trish Stratus


Patricia Anne Stratigias (born December 18, 1975) is a Canadian retired professional wrestler, former fitness model, and fitness guru, actress and television personality, better known by her stage name and former ring name Trish Stratus. She is best known for her tenure with WWE.



After beginning her career as a fitness model, Stratus began working for the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), which was later renamed World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). Early in her career, she was involved in sexually themed storylines, such as managing the team T & A and an affair with Vince McMahon. As Stratus spent more time in the ring, her perceived wrestling skills strengthened and her popularity increased. Because of this, she was made a one-time WWE Hardcore Champion, three-time "WWE Babe of the Year" and was proclaimed "Diva of the Decade". After nearly seven years in the business, Stratus retired from professional wrestling at WWE Unforgiven on September 17, 2006 after winning her seventh WWE Women's Championship, the most in WWE history. In 2011, Stratus was a trainer for WWE Tough Enough and she was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2013.


 
Aside from professional wrestling, Stratus appeared on a number of magazine covers and has been involved in charity work. She has also hosted several award and television shows, and owns a yoga studio.



Kelly Kelly


Barbara Jean "Barbie" Blank (born January 15, 1987) is an American model, professional wrestler, and professional wrestling valet, better known by her ring name Kelly Kelly. She is best known for her time with WWE.

Blank has a background in gymnastics and cheerleading. She studied broadcast journalism, hoping to become a television anchor, and worked as a model for Venus Swimwear and Hawaiian Tropic. In 2006, Blank was signed to a contract by WWE and sent to Ohio Valley Wrestling, a WWE developmental territory. She debuted on the ECW brand in June 2006 as 'Kelly Kelly', with the character of an exhibitionist and performing a striptease. She continued her stripteases, in a segment known as Kelly's Exposé, weekly on ECW, and also became the valet of her on-screen boyfriend Mike Knox. The following year, she formed Extreme Exposé with Layla and Brooke Adams, and the trio performed regular dance segments on ECW. They later became involved in a storyline with The Miz, which led to the dissolution of the group.

Kelly then began participating in more wrestling matches, and was moved to the Raw brand in July 2008. Throughout the next year, she unsuccessfully challenged for the WWE Divas Championship on several occasions, before moving to SmackDown in early 2010. There she challenged LayCool for the WWE Women's Championship, but was unsuccessful. In April 2011, Kelly returned to the Raw brand, where she won the WWE Divas Championship for the first time in June. Kelly lost the title to Beth Phoenix in October, ending her four-month reign. In September 2012, Blank was released from her WWE contract, and later that year, began making appearances on the independent circuit.
