Former WWE and AEW star Saraya has opened the door to bringing back her iconic “Paige” persona if she ever steps back into the wrestling ring.
In an interview with Andro Mammo, she expressed deep admiration for the character that made her a household name in WWE.
“I would take Paige again. Yeah. I love that character. I love Paige. I love the music. I love that she was a badass,” she said.
Under the Paige moniker, she rose to stardom as a groundbreaking force in WWE’s women’s division. Known for her dark look, no-nonsense attitude, and in-ring aggression, she held the NXT Women’s Championship and won the Divas Championship twice, becoming one of the defining figures of the “Women’s Evolution” era.
In AEW, Saraya worked under her real name and embraced a different character style, one she admits didn’t resonate as strongly.
“Saraya was a different character in AEW. It’s more like a chicken sh*t heel, which was fun, but I preferred Paige, for sure,” she said.
Though currently away from in-ring action, she didn’t rule out a return and hinted at a possible blend of her past and present personas.
“And if I was to be Saraya, it would be a Paige version of Saraya,” she added.
The former AEW Women’s World Champion last wrestled on October 8, 2024, in a four-way match to determine the number one contender for the AEW Women’s World Title and on March 26, 2025, she announced her departure from AEW after nearly three years with the company.
Which Two Matches Does Saraya Want To Compete In A Potential WWE Return?
Saraya spoke about two match types she wants to compete in if she ever steps back into the WWE. She said that she would love to compete in the Women’s Royal Rumble match and also in a Women’s Elimination Chamber match should she find her way back in the promotion.
In other AEW news, one wrestler could be out of action longer than first expected.
