Paige (aka Saraya) sent a message to fans after rumors of her WWE return proved false.

The former Divas Champion left the Stamford-based company in 2022. She later joined AEW, where she came out of in-ring retirement and won the Women’s World Title. Nevertheless, The Anti-Diva left Tony Khan’s promotion earlier this year and stepped away from wrestling.

Over the past few days, Paige shared a few videos of her training inside the squared circle, sparking rumors about her possible return as a surprise entrant in the 2026 WWE Women’s Royal Rumble. Nevertheless, these speculations proved false as Brie Bella was the only surprise entrant in the 30-woman bout.
