Saraya wishes she could have a do-over with her return to the ring.

Saraya, formerly known as Paige, has had a decorated career. In WWE, she won the NXT Women’s Championship and the WWE Divas Championship. Injuries derailed her run in WWE, and she was forced to retire in 2018. Saraya left WWE in 2022 and signed with AEW. She competed in her first match since 2017 wjen she faced Britt Baker at AEW Full Gear 2022.

Speaking on a Rapid Fire edition of Truth or Dab, Saraya was asked to name a moment of her career that she wishes she could relive. Saraya named a few of her title wins. She also stated that she wishes she could redo her first match in AEW, which marked her return to the ring after she previously retired.

“Winning the divas championship, winning the NXT Championship, winning the AEW World Women’s Championship. All of it. If I could redo my first match back, I would because I was the shits [laughs]. I wish I could have been better in my first match back after five years,” Saraya said.

Within a year of her return, Saraya went on to win the AEW Women’s World Championship at AEW All In. 

Saraya recently said her AEW Women’s World Championship reign could end tomorrow and she’d be happy she got the special moment. Check out her comments here.
