AEW star Saraya has revealed when her contract is up for renewal and if a return to WWE could be possible.
While speaking with TMZ Sports, the former Women’s Champion stated that her contract expires in September 2025. With many AEW stars considering the jump to WWE as the sports entertainment brand is arguably hotter than ever, is there a scenario where the former Paige once again makes a return or potentially a return to action.
During the interview, Saraya stated that while she loved her time in WWE, she is also very happy right now in AEW:
“I love WWE,” she told TMZ Sports. “I appreciate everybody there. They made me, they gave me my career and I’m just appreciative of that. One day, who knows, [but] I love my time in AEW.”
After first retiring from in-ring competition due to neck injuries in 2018 while with WWE, the former Women’s Champion made her shock debut for AEW at Grand Slam 2022. After revealing that she was once again cleared to compete, the British wrestler had her return match later that year. At the first ever All In at Wembley Stadium, Saraya won the Women’s Championship with her family in attendance. Her last match took place in October 2024.
Saraya vs. Mercedes Mone?
The aforementioned neck injury took place at a WWE live event in 2017. During the match, an accidental strike from Sasha Banks [now Mercedes Mone in WWE] caused the match to be stopped and was Saraya’s final appearance inside a WWE ring as a competitor. With both wrestlers now in AEW, the former champion was asked if the rivalry could be revisited:
“It’s wrestling, it happens. But like coming back, I feel like it would be real great to face off against her.”
