Latest reports on Saraya returning to WWE have now come to the fore.
Saraya, who was known as Paige in WWE, recently parted ways with AEW. Since then, rumors have been rife that she could return to her former stomping grounds, where she was a two-time Divas Champion, and the inaugural NXT Women’s Champion. The star also spoke about her willingness to return to the promotion. However, it did not pan out as fans would have wanted. While many thought she would return during the recent Evolution PLE, that was not the case.
Now, a new report from Bodyslam reveals that WWE may not be too keen on having her back, at least in a wrestling role. The report claims that there were no internal discussions about the star returning. She was also not in any of the plans for the Evolution PLE that saw Naomi get crowned as the new women’s world champion.

Many fans previously attributed the online talk as hints that the star was going to return, but, unfortunately, that was not the case.
Saraya (Paige) departed WWE in 2022 to join AEW
The erstwhile Paige spent four years in WWE in non-wrestling after suffering a neck injury that ruled her out of competition. The star left the promotion after wanting to try new things in her career.
She went to AEW and had a resurgence in her career. Saraya even became the AEW Women’s World Champion after winning a four-way match at All In. This was the star’s first world title in about nine years. However, despite the massive success in her career, the star could not hold the title for long and lost it to former champion Hikaru Shida at Grand Slam at only the 44th day of her reign.
However, this did not stop Saraya as he had some great matches and rivalries, especially with her former stablemate Toni Storm and Jamie Hayter.
It remains to be seen what the future holds for the former Paige and whether she will return to WWE sometime down the line.
