Former Champion Is Ready To Return To WWE

Former WWE Divas and AEW Women’s World Champion Saraya is ready to make an in-ring comeback. Speaking on “Busted Open Radio” with Dave LaGreca and Natalya Neidhart, the free agent discussed her new memoir, her current health, and her desire to step back into the ring and start training again.The former WWE star said she still feels a connection to WWE and the people she worked with. Saraya explained, “I’m always going to have that feeling, because WWE is doing amazing things right now. I miss being in the locker room. I miss being around people like Natty. I miss my sisters. I miss being a part of these things.”Saraya on AJ Lee’s Return and Her Own FutureShe described AJ Lee’s return as a major moment for her personally, calling AJ her “fairy godmother.” Saraya said, “When I watched AJ, I’ve watched that over and over again, because she’s my fairy godmother. She was one that took me under her wing when I first came up on the roster, and we traveled together.My social media has blown up. I cannot go on there without hundreds of thousands of people doing videos being like, ‘Please bring Saraya back. Please bring Paige back.’ It made me emotional. People still like me, and they still want me to be around. That’s probably the best feeling in the world for me.”Saraya admitted that the fan reaction made her reflect on her future in wrestling. She said (H/T to WrestlingNews.co), “I feel like I have done a lot for women’s wrestling. My career was cut short with the neck, but now my neck is healthy. I’m in full health. I want to start training again. I want to get in the ring and bring back the Paige that I was in NXT. I watched a match I had with Natty a couple of days ago, and I thought, man, I just miss that side of me. I need to get back in the swing of things again. So if I ever do come back…”A Return to The DungeonShe went further, emphasizing that she is prepared to commit to training for a return. “I’m ready to come back. I want to get my cardio back and get the ring rust off. I found my love for it again. This is such an exciting time for wrestling, and I miss it. I want to be Paige again, like the way she wrestled in NXT, and I want to upgrade her. I’m not going to be crazy, but I want to do the new generation style of wrestling. If I ever come back, people are going to be surprised at what I can do. I’m going to credit Natty because I am coming to the Dungeon. I’m going to come there for a good month, and we are going to sweat.”More news: WWE Superstar Announces Retirement MatchSaraya, who wrestled as Paige in WWE, made her main roster debut in 2014 by defeating AJ Lee for the Divas Championship on her first night.
