Saraya, formerly known as Paige in WWE, made one of the most memorable main roster debuts in company history back in April 2014. On the Raw after WrestleMania, she shocked the world by defeating AJ Lee to capture the WWE Divas Championship in her very first match. This kicked off a significant feud between the two that dominated much of the women’s division throughout 2014. Now, eleven years later, a recent social media interaction has sparked speculation about whether their story truly ended. The exchange began when the USA Network’s official Instagram account posted a throwback commemorating the eleven-year anniversary of AJ Lee’s match against Paige at the WWE Hell in a Cell event in 2014. That encounter marked the final time the two competed one-on-one in WWE. Responding to the post caption which referred to the match as the end of their rivalry, AJ Lee took to her Instagram Stories with a playful rebuttal. She shared the post and declared that her feud with Saraya is “never over,” adding that she and the British wrestler are “frenemies for life.” Lee’s message quickly garnered a response from Saraya herself. Replying on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Saraya echoed Lee’s sentiment, agreeing that their rivalry is indeed “never over.” She affectionately referred to AJ Lee as her “fairy godmother,” acknowledging Lee’s role in her impactful main roster debut. My fairy god mother, never over 🖤 https://t.co/cKiXuVYn5t— SARAYA (@Saraya) October 27, 2025 More news: WWE Superstar Announces Retirement Match This friendly back-and-forth holds extra weight given the current status of both women. AJ Lee made her own return to WWE in September 2025 after a lengthy hiatus. She competed and won her first match in over a decade later that month at WrestlePalooza, teaming with her husband CM Punk to defeat Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch. Meanwhile, Saraya recently concluded her tenure with All Elite Wrestling (AEW) and has publicly stated that she is open to the possibility of returning to WWE. CHICAGO, ILLINOIS – OCTOBER 18: AJ Mendez attends the red carpet Premiere of “Girl on the Third Floor” at the Chicago International Film Festival on October 18, 2019, in Chicago, Illinois. The AJ Lee vs. Paige feud from 2014 is still fondly remembered by many WWE fans and is often cited as one of the standout women’s storylines of that era, helping to lay groundwork for the later Women’s Evolution. Their recent interaction, combined with their current career situations, naturally leads to speculation about a potential on-screen reunion or even a renewal of their rivalry over a decade later. With AJ Lee potentially appearing on the November 17th episode of Raw at Madison Square Garden and Survivor Series: WarGames scheduled for November 29th, the timing of this exchange is intriguing. While Saraya is currently a free agent, her openness to a WWE return and this interaction with the recently returned Lee could hint at future possibilities, perhaps even leading to Saraya making a surprise appearance or return in the coming weeks or months, potentially reigniting one of WWE’s most memorable women’s rivalries.
