Hell in Boots

Clawing My Way Through Nine Lives

De: Saraya-Jade Bevis

Narrado por: Saraya-Jade Bevis

An eye-opening memoir of family drama, stardom, despair, and resilience from the wildly popular wrestling superstar.

Saraya-Jade Bevis, formerly WWE’s Paige, is one of the biggest names in the wrestling world. She is the youngest two-time WWE Divas Champion and was inaugural NXT’s Women Champion. She ranked first in Pro Wrestling Illustrated’s Female 50 and was named Diva of the Year by Rolling Stone in 2014. She was also the subject of the critically and commercially successful 2019 film Fighting with My Family, produced by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and starring Florence Pugh. But before ascending to wrestling superstardom, she was just Saraya.

Hell in Boots is Saraya’s real, uncensored, story. From her early days in her famous (and chaotic) wrestling family, to leaving home at fifteen, to forging her own path in professional wrestling, Saraya has been through hell and back. As she fought to make it in the incredibly competitive—and at times sexist—wrestling world, she faced incredible highs and devastating lows. Saraya recounts years of struggling with substance abuse, clawing back her pride after an ex’s sex tape leaked, adjusting to stardom in the WWE, healing from a nearly career-ending injury, a making triumphant return to wrestling as AEW Women’s World Champion. Through it all, Saraya tells her whole truth in a way she never has before.

Amazing!

Love everything about this book Saraya is awesome this book just made me love her more.🩷

Outstanding

Well read by the author and she nailed it, her passion was evident. Respect her so much more - what a wonderful young lady.

Great book and story

The things she went through in the spotlight would have broken most people. She came out through it all and survived. This book is definitely worth the price and definitely worth reading. One of the most polarizing female wrestlers ever. This is her book and the world is her house.

Love learning so much about such a talented person

Soraya has been one of my personal favorite wrestlers for so long. I loved her movie. And I love this book even more. This has made me respect her even more both as a performer, but also as a person.

Overall inspiring and truly amazing

Recommend 1000% inspires you to be a much better human being and continue working hard.

He’ll in boots!!!

Saraya, this book is fantastic!!! I started watching wrestling when my son Nick was about 7 and my son Luke was 2. That was 30 years ago for me. I remember when Paige arrived on WWE. And she quickly became one of my favorite divas!!!

I preordered the hardback and it’s apparently delayed in the mail. Thanks Barns and Noble. However I wasn’t waiting, I also got the audiobook and listened at work. Which may not have been the best place to listen to this. I can’t count how many times I teared up. And how many times I laughed, especially when the mice got out and infested the neighborhood lol

I absolutely love that the chapter titles are almost all song titles. I loved reliving in my mind shows I personally watched. Or moments that happened in Fighting with my family, a great movie. I’ve been lucky enough to see Saraya at a few AEW events as well. This book shares her personal experiences and her life. It shows how real she is. And I love that.

Lastly I’d like to say to Saraya, you are such a strong and amazing person. And never doubt yourself. You are such a beautiful woman inside and out. Thank you for sharing your story with us.

A stomach turner from start to finish!

Where do I start with wow! Just wow! I could not turn this off!! My heart broke for this young woman from the first sentence until I finished this. I always got the feeling and small stories from Paige here and there on total divas that she’s been through a lot but I had no clue she went through so much!! Honestly I cannot believe she is still here. Not many people would survive what she did! Saraya never had a chance from the start. From death, mentally ill family members, m*lestation, abandonment from her mother, an alcoholic father, becoming an alcoholic herself, a childhood of watching her family fist fight anyone that looked at them the wrong way, surrounded by child predators, constantly! There were times I had to pause this for a minute because some of the things she talked about legit made me feel like I was going to throw up. I’m so happy she made it out of all this mess and is the badass she is today!! Saraya we love you and always have!! Wishing you well and nothing but love on the rest of your journey! What a terrific and well written book!! 👏🏼👏🏼

Saraya’s just a star

I loved Everything about this book. Saraya is just such an inspirational person to me and she is also such an important piece when it comes to the wrestling women’s revolution. The things she shared with us in her book ….. was just so brave and I’m so so proud of her….been a fan since I was 11 and still a fan till this day! I hope she makes a part 2 cause I know she has so much more to share. I feel like anyone can enjoy and learn from this book I don’t think you have to necessarily be a fan of wrestling to enjoy this.
