Saraya hasn’t been on AEW TV in a few months, as she was last seen on the October 8 episode of AEW Dynamite, where she worked a 4-way AEW Women’s World Title Eliminator Match against Jamie Hayter, Willow Nightingale, and Nyla Rose.
This was after she worked a program with Hayter. In the summer of 2024, Saraya signed a new deal with the promotion. This will see her remain under contract through September 2025.
While appearing on the red carpet at the 11th annual Reality Television Awards this past November, Saraya stated she was taking a small break from AEW for now. She has since provided a further update.
In response to a Twitter troll, who claimed that the reason Saraya wasn’t on TV was due to her wearing a Steve Austin shirt on social media, Saraya shot that theory down and noted she asked for the time off due to personal reasons.
You’re so moronic. I asked for time off for the first time in my career for personal reasons and Tony was gracious enough to give me that.
Also I’m a 32 year old woman. I can wear whatever tf I want. https://t.co/d7jUtab3KL— SARAYA (@Saraya) January 16, 2025
It’s unclear exactly when she will return to TV.
