Saraya discusses the fine she received from AEW for saying the word 'Twat' on Dynamite.
On the March 15 episode of AEW Dynamite, Saraya used the word 'Twat' in a promo. Before the show even went off the air that night, Saraya noted in a tweet that she was fined for using the word in the promo.
While appearing on the latest episode of Superstar Crossover with Josh Martinez, Saraya went into detail about the promo and the fine for the first time, noting that twat is a very common word in the United Kingdom.
"I think this is the first time I've really cursed on TV. You know, what's really crazy is that even though twat is like a very British thing to say," she said. "Twat is a very common word in the UK. It’s not part of my vocabulary, so I don’t even know why I said it. I could say any other word, but I chose ‘Twat’ in the spur of the moment, and it fit."
Saraya also went on to note that she tried to play a game of tag after the promo, as she wanted people to chase her down to talk about saying the word and the promo.
"I did a runner after the show, by the way. After I cursed, I was like, ‘I’m out,’ so they have to chase me down for this fine. So I’m getting texts from Toni Storm, Ruby, Pat Buck. I’m getting texts from the lawyers. They were just like, ‘We have to call you. You have to stop running away.’ I’m like, ‘I’m already gone. Catch me if you can.’ They called me, and they were so sweet about it. They were like, ‘Okay, there’s three things you did wrong here.’ I was like, 'What are those?' He was, ‘Well when you walked down the ramp, you flipped everybody off. That’s a no.’ I was like, 'Okay.' Second thing, you body-shamed everybody. That’s also a no.’ I’m like, alright. Then he’s like, ‘Then you called everyone neck-bearded twats, and that’s also not okay.’ They were like, ‘Not from our side, but the network is gonna be a little upset if you keep doing those things.’ He was like, ‘Just try not to body-shame people.’ I was like, ‘Well, they do it to me all the time, so suck it, right?”"I was like, 'To be fair to me, they did send me a list of curse words you cannot say, and twat wasn't on it.' They're like, 'We didn't think we had to put it on there,' and I'm like, 'From a British standpoint, you have to always put it on there.'"
