Meet the Family

Fighting With My Family is, quite literally, about a fighting family: the Bevis family, an English family with a history in the wrestling community. Patrick Bevis (known professionally as "Ricky Knight") and Julia Hamer-Bevis (aka Sweet Saraya, aka Saraya Knight) both were professional wrestlers, who had two kids: a daughter, Saraya-Jade (aka Paige), and a son, Zak (aka Zak Zodiac). For clarity's sake, we're going to refer to them by their current stage names for the remainder of this article.

In an interview with WWE as an adult, Paige joked about being "born into" the wrestling business: "I was born into the business, literally. My mum was seven months pregnant with me before she realised it so she kept wrestling like normal up to that point. I guess it's safe to say I was wrestling as a fetus! I was always scared of wrestling before I started because I watched my family do it and saw the price they had to pay with injuries and all, but following in their footsteps always intrigued me."

Ricky, a former gangster who had served prison time, introduced his kids to wrestling at a young age: both Zak and Paige joined the family business as tweens — with mixed results.
