Saraya Taking a Hiatus from AEW: Here’s What We Know

AEW star Saraya, formerly known as Paige in WWE, has confirmed that she is stepping away from AEW for an indefinite hiatus. This announcement follows her absence from AEW programming since October, where she last participated in a Fatal 4-Way match featuring Willow Nightingale, Jamie Hayter, and Nyla Rose.

Saraya Confirms Break During Red Carpet Interview

In a recent interview on the red carpet of the American Reality TV Awards, Saraya revealed her plans to focus on opportunities outside wrestling. Speaking about her hiatus, she said:

“I’m taking a little break right now so I can do more of this stuff again. I haven’t been on a red carpet in a minute. It’s nice to be back. I’m actually going to be co-hosting Catfish soon. I already filmed the episode with Nev a few months ago. That should be fun.”

The move reflects her desire to diversify her career while still keeping her wrestling options open.

Saraya’s AEW Journey So Far

Saraya joined AEW in late 2022 and quickly became a key figure in the women’s division. Her return to in-ring competition after retiring in 2018 due to injuries was met with excitement from fans.

Her hiatus comes as AEW’s women’s division continues to evolve with new talents and storylines.

What’s Next for Saraya?

Although Saraya is taking time off from AEW, her co-hosting stint on Catfish highlights her growing presence in mainstream media. While she hasn’t announced when—or if—she’ll return to AEW, her focus on new opportunities suggests a multi-dimensional career path.

Fans remain eager to see how Saraya balances her entertainment pursuits with professional wrestling, and whether her break will lead to fresh storylines in AEW or other promotions. Stay tuned for updates on Saraya’s next moves.
