Reports from Bodyslam.net indicate WWE has no plans to rehire Saraya. WWE management has not held internal discussions about a possible comeback for Saraya, who fans know as Paige. This decision stands even after Saraya voiced her desire to return and fan speculation intensified about an appearance at the recent Evolution 2 in Atlanta.
Saraya’s potential return became a topic of fan discussion on social media, with some users on X, formerly Twitter, predicting her presence at Evolution 2. When she did not appear, the conversation continued. Saraya responded to the outpouring from fans, apologizing and confirming that WWE officials had not contacted her about a return. She previously stated she would have taken the call if WWE had reached out.
Journalists and wrestling news outlets corroborated this unified stance following Evolution 2, underscoring the clear separation between Saraya’s hopes and WWE’s current direction. Prominent wrestling news platforms have also reported that WWE “does not want the return of Saraya.”
Messages shared on X and other social platforms confirm there are no plans to feature Saraya on WWE programming under any persona at this time. These statements, released immediately after the all-women’s show, suggest WWE aims to set fan expectations and move forward.
This public distancing comes after Saraya’s stint in AEW, her recent podcasting endeavors, and ongoing discussions about her physical health following a career-threatening neck injury. WWE’s decision reinforces its focus on pushing current and next-generation female talent.
The overall reaction among fans and industry insiders to WWE’s position shows a mixture of disappointment and realism. Discussions on forums like Reddit’s r/SquaredCircle highlight that while Saraya significantly contributed to WWE’s women’s division, her more recent work, particularly in AEW, has not convinced WWE leadership or a broad segment of the fanbase that a return would be necessary or impactful.
