Saraya Hints at Retirement as AEW Contract Nears Expiry

AEW star Saraya, formerly known as Paige in WWE, has hinted at the imminent end of her wrestling career as her contract approaches expiration in September. In recent interviews, she reflected on her absence from AEW programming since October 2024 and her winless streak since August 2024, expressing her desire to uplift younger talent rather than focus on her own success. Saraya emphasized that she does not want to leave the industry without giving back, stating, "I’m coming to the end of it and it’s very soon." Although she has not announced a specific retirement date, her absence from the ring and upcoming autobiography release suggest a transition away from wrestling may be imminent. Saraya's career, which included a significant return to the ring in AEW after a prior retirement due to neck injuries, has made her a pivotal figure in women's wrestling. As fans await her next move, she remains engaged in projects outside of wrestling, including her memoir, 'Hell in Boots,' set to release in March 2025.
