AEW wrestler Saraya announces ‘Hell in Boots’ memoir

AEW star Saraya is telling her life story in a new book set to be released next year.
Titled “Hell in Boots,” Saraya’s memoir is scheduled for a March 25, 2025 release. It’s from Gallery Books, which is part of Simon & Schuster. The publisher describes the book as “an eye-opening memoir of family drama, stardom, despair, and resilience from the wildly popular wrestling superstar.”
“Big announcement: I have a book, and it’s coming out next year, but you can pre-order yours right now,” Saraya announced. “I basically write about from childhood since birth to right now, this very moment. So I’m really excited for you guys to see what the hell I’ve been up to — good, bad, ugly, everything in between, in and outside the ring. I’m just really excited for you guys to see why I am the way that I am.”
Saraya’s life was also the subject of the film “Fighting with My Family,” which was released in 2019 while she was still with WWE. It starred Florence Pugh and featured Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who spearheaded the project after seeing a documentary on Saraya and her family.
Due to neck issues, Saraya was medically disqualified from in-ring competition for nearly five years until returning for AEW in 2022. She’s currently feuding with Jamie Hayter.
The full description for “Hell in Boots” can be read below:
- 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.
