Saraya Speaks On Wanting To Do More Character Work And Stipulation Matches In AEW

Saraya is ready to go.

Saraya announced this past Wednesday on AEW Dynamite that she is cleared to wrestle and will battle Britt Baker at AEW’s upcoming Full Gear Pay-Per-View. Saraya sat down to speak on The Sessions with Renee Paquette, where she discussed her return to the ring. She also made it clear that she wants to compete in stipulation matches, as she didn’t get a chance to do that during her WWE run. She also says that she’s excited about doing more character work with an evolved version of who she was as Paige in WWE.

At first it’s more of a comeback story, an official comeback and being in a different mindset of what I felt like I should have done the first time I came back. There are plenty of women that I want to have matches with eventually. I do want to do the stipulation matches that I didn’t get to do in WWE that the girls get to do now. Also, working more character work, try and build…I’m not going to completely let go of Paige, but a more elevated version of her. There are so many things we can do now. We have such creative freedom,

She noted that she was Paige for so many years that she was super comfortable with the character, now, she has to start over and rebuild herself.

I have to rebuild a character and I’m not 100% sure what she’s going to do and where she’s going to go. I know the idea she wants, but in WWE, I knew my character, I knew Paige, I had been doing her for years. Getting people writing scripts, you can switch and change whatever. Now, who is Saraya? I have to start from the beginning again, at 30! It’s fucking wild,
