With the WWE Evolution premium live event just around the corner, speculation has been running wild about potential surprise returns. One name that has been consistently mentioned by fans is Saraya (formerly Paige), but she has now addressed the rumors directly.
In an interview with the Orlando Sentinel conducted on June 17, Saraya made it clear that she has not had any conversations with WWE about a potential comeback.
“I haven’t had a conversation with them,” Saraya said. “I know, I always get tagged in everything, as soon as there’s a mystery going around, they’re like, ‘Hey, she’s coming back.’ But no. I love the WWE, but no.”
Saraya and AEW mutually parted ways in March of this year, which fueled the rumors of a potential WWE return. However, she told the Orlando Sentinel that she is currently taking a break from the wrestling business to focus on other projects, including her new book “Hell in Boots” and her “Rulebreakers” podcast.
“It feels good to take a little break from wrestling and then see the outpouring of love from people saying they want me back,” Saraya said. “I just want to get my feet wet outside of wrestling for a little bit and take care of myself this year. It’s consumed me my whole life. All 32 years of my life has been wrestling, so I just want to find myself a little bit outside it and next year, maybe come back.”
It has been nearly eight years since Saraya’s last match in a WWE ring.
