While speaking on B4 The Bell, Saraya was asked about a potential WWE return and a potential name change should she do it. Saraya announced her departure from AEW earlier this week after joining the promotion in 2022.
While in WWE, she found a ton of success, including runs as NXT Women’s Champion and Divas Champion. Here are the highlights:
On a potential WWE return: “You know what, this came up so much at my signing yesterday. I didn’t realize I always have this insecurity, I guess, where I feel like people just don’t give a crap about me [laughs], and I have to be reminded of it all the time. I really do. I really do. But I get so many people wondering if I’m gonna go back there. I’m just like, I don’t know. I don’t know. Maybe if there’s something cool that comes along and they would want me back there. Maybe. Who knows? Who knows what the future holds? Never say never,” she said.
On whether she would return as Paige or stick with Saraya: ”Paige. Paige. Paige, I felt like I could leave that character at the door. I love being Saraya, and I love that people know me as Saraya and stuff like that. With Paige though, I felt like I built such a special thing with her, and then when I got home, I didn’t have to be her anymore. But I loved who I built with her. She was a badass. I loved being her, and she has built my life. I got a movie made about Paige. A lot of my career is built on that character, and people love that character, and that’s the one that kind of stood out compared to everybody else. She has a special place in my heart. If I was to go back, Paige in a heartbeat. Same music, Paige, everything.”
