Summary

– She plans to step back from wrestling and focus on personal projects, including her podcast
– Saraya leaves the door open for a return while sparking speculation of a WWE comeback
Saraya has confirmed her departure from All Elite Wrestling, marking the end of a chapter that began over two years ago. The former WWE Divas Champion shared the news on her podcast, Rulebreakers With Saraya, noting that the split is mutual without drama.
“I’m here to tell you that me and AEW’s relationship has come to an end,” Saraya said. “There’s no bad blood between us. I had such a magical time.”
She explained that the decision came after time off during the holidays and a personal realization that she didn’t currently fit into any ongoing AEW storylines. Rather than occupy a spot that could go to someone else, Saraya opted to walk away for now.
“I feel like I might be taking someone else’s spot, someone who could be doing something really special.”
Although she’s stepping back from wrestling, Saraya made it clear she still loves AEW and its people. She thanked Tony Khan and praised the women’s locker room, encouraging everyone to stay in touch.
As she shifts focus to her podcast and other projects, fans are already speculating about a potential WWE return—something that now seems more possible than ever.
