• Saraya has been absent from AEW television since October 8, 2024, when she competed in a Fatal 4-Way AEW Women’s World Title Eliminator match against Jamie Hayter, Willow Nightingale, and Nyla Rose.
Prior to her hiatus, Saraya was involved in a storyline with Hayter and signed a new contract in the summer of 2024, which keeps her with All Elite Wrestling through September 2025.
While on the red carpet at the 11th Annual Reality Television Awards in November, Saraya revealed she was taking a short break from AEW.
Recently, she addressed speculation about her absence, responding to a fan who suggested she was sidelined for wearing a Steve Austin T-shirt on social media.
Saraya firmly denied the claim, stating that her time off was due to personal reasons and was requested by her.
Here’s what the former AEW Women’s World Champion tweeted:
“You’re so m*ronic. I asked for time off for the first time in my career for personal reasons and Tony was gracious enough to give me that.
Also I’m a 32 year old woman. I can wear whatever tf I want.”
