AEW star Saraya(formerly Paige in WWE) recently talked about Triple H being hopeful that she would stick around in some capacity in WWE.
Paige opens up on Triple H
During a recent interview with Metro UK, Saraya shared how she received an offer to stay in WWE from Triple H, who had recently taken over creative duties after Vince McMahon’s retirement.
“Man, I do love Hunter, he’s so fantastic. He was like, ‘Wait what happened?!’ [about her contract expiring]. I was like, ‘I dunno, they haven’t renewed my contract.’ He was like, ‘Oh my gosh! Well I didn’t know that, so I’m sorry!’ He was really fantastic. He did give me the opportunity to potentially be a GM again, and give me the opportunity to be like, ‘If you ever potentially want to wrestle again, I’ll give you that opportunity too.’ He was very open about any ideas that I had.”
The former WWE Divas Champion had been struggling with neck issues over the past few years that had put a halt on her in-ring career. She was under a contract with WWE but she recently announced that she’d soon be ending her long run with WWE. She shocked the wrestling world when she announced that she’ll be leaving WWE in July.
Saraya made a shocking debut at AEW Dynamite Grand Slam last year. AEW Dynamite Grand Slam saw a Fatal Four-way match for the Interim AEW Women’s World Championship that featured the reigning champ Toni Storm, Serena Deeb, Athena, and Britt Baker. After Storm successfully retained her title, the former WWE star made her way down to the ring, much to the crowd’s shock. She had her first match in the company at Full Gear in November. She will compete in her second match for AEW on Wednesday, January 11 when she teams with Toni Storm against Britt Baker and Jamie Hayter.
