Former WWE and AEW star Saraya (AKA Paige) has been out of action since October 2024. She left All Elite Wrestling in March 2025 and has been focusing on other projects.
Speaking to the Toronto Sun, Saraya shared that she enjoyed her break from wrestling. She added that she has discovered a newfound love for the business that has helped her become who she is today.
I’ve had a wonderful year to kind of dip my toe into the outside of wrestling world and it’s been so wonderful and I have loved it and I have enjoyed it, but you know, once you’re a wrestler, you always miss it. I am starting to get the bug for it again because I went through a stage where I kind of like fell out of love with it for a second and I’m just like I need to take a break from it and that was the whole goal, but I’ve just found like this new love for it again and I found this new passion for it again,” Saraya stated.
Saraya further revealed that she’s planning to resume in-ring training in January 2026. She’s also been in touch with WWE star Natalya, who has invited her to train in the Dungeon.
I’m gonna get into training in January and we’ll see where that takes me, you know, because I feel like if I was to ever come back, not saying I am, but if I was to ever come back, I want to be at the top of my game and be wrestling better than I was wrestling back when I was in NXT so that’s my goal.
And I’ve actually asked Natty [Natalya] a few times, like she wants me to go down to the dungeon and stuff in Florida so I was like ‘absolutely.’ I miss it. I love it. I think the percentage of me going back is a lot higher now but we’ll see where it goes. We’ll see where it goes. Who knows what will happen?”
