Saraya joined All Elite Wrestling (AEW) in 2022, making a comeback to wrestling after retiring due to spinal stenosis. Fans were excited to see her in action, and she quickly became a key figure in AEW. A major highlight was her victory at All In 2023, where she won the AEW Women’s World Championship, marking an important achievement in her career.
Recently, though, her role in AEW has seemed to be less prominent. Her last title match was on the August 21 episode of Dynamite, where she lost the championship to Toni Storm in a match under nine minutes. She also lost to Mariah May at the AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door 2024 event in the Owen Hart Foundation Women’s Tournament.
Saraya had also been involved in a storyline with Jamie Hayter, which began when Hayter returned at All In 2024. This rivalry led to a match on the September 25 episode of Collision: Grand Slam, where Hayter won. Saraya’s most recent appearance was in a Four-Way #1 Contendership Match on Dynamite: Title Tuesday on October 8, competing against Hayter, Nyla Rose, and Willow Nightingale. Nightingale won and secured a title match against Mariah May at WrestleDream.
Since that match, Saraya has been absent from AEW shows, leading fans to speculate about her condition. Responding to these rumors, Saraya clarified on Twitter that she is not currently injured.
