Saraya says she is ready to compete now and only waiting for the right opportunity to make her AEW return.
The former women’s champion has not wrestled for AEW since last October. After her feud with Jamie Hayter that started at All In London, the wrestling veteran took time off to focus on other projects.
In a new interview with TMZ, Saraya was asked when she would be returning to the ring. The female star confirmed that she is medically cleared to compete and they’re just waiting on the right storyline to reintroduce her on TV:
“I don’t know. I’m ready to go now. It’s just trying to find the best way to introduce me again. Which I think I would love to go against Mercedes. I think it’s important. She ended my career in a way. It’s wrestling, it happens. But coming back I feel like it’d be really great to face off against her.”
Saraya known as Paige in WWE had to retire from active competition in December 2017 after battling neck issues for a long time. Her last match in the company came at a live event where she suffered a neck injury while taking a kick from Sasha Banks now known as Mercedes Mone in AEW.
Apart from this, the former Total Divas star discussed Nikki Bella’s separation with her husband and the former champion teasing her return to WWE. She also revealed that her current contract with AEW expires later this year. You can check out her comments on the matter here.
