Saraya Drops WWE Evolution Hint As Speculation Mounts

Could Saraya return to WWE at Evolution?

On March 26, Saraya announced her departure from AEW, six months before her contract officially expired in September.

Her exit immediately sparked speculation that she could return to WWE, but she’s repeatedly stated that she hasn’t been in contact with the sports entertainment giant. Interestingly, she also revealed that Tony Khan had left the door open for her to return to AEW in the future.

Speculation around the former Divas Champion has again gathered pace in recent weeks with the all-female Premium Live Event, Evolution, just around the corner.

Saraya Open To WWE Comeback

During a new interview with Chris Van Vliet, Saraya was asked about potentially appearing at Evolution. And although she didn’t confirm that she’d be there, for the first time, she admitted she’d think about appearing if the opportunity arose.

“It’s like a bittersweet thing, because the first one, I couldn’t be on it because of my neck. So if I had the opportunity to be on this all-female pay-per-view, of course, yeah, I would think about it.”

During the conversation, Saraya said that if she ever returns to WWE, she’d like to do so as under her “Paige” persona.

“I miss Paige so much. I tell people all the time. So again, when I went to AEW, I didn’t want to be close to my character in WWE because of the comparisons. I was like, Okay. And then I ended up being like a chicken sh*t heel with AEW, which is all fun and good, but there’s a ceiling to that.

Whereas Paige, I mean, she’s generational. I love her. She’s bad ass, tough as nails, just screaming all the time. I loved being her. She was a f*cking badass, and that felt more like an elevated version of myself, rather than doing what I was doing in AEW. But again, that was my decision to be like that.

But then I was like, Damn I wish I leaned more into my original character, but it is what it is. You live, you learn.”

The British star later confirmed that she’s not subject to a non-compete clause and is officially a free agent.
