Saraya elaborates on her comments.
Former AEW Women's World Champion Saraya has been absent from AEW programming since October 2024, and she has said that she asked for time off. Saraya recently sparked buzz by saying that she was coming to the end of her career, and she felt like there wasn't a spot for her.
Speaking on B4 The Bell, Saraya was asked whether there were still milestones for her and ceilings that she wanted to break through in wrestling.
“Sure. Yeah, I mean, there’s still a lot left in the tank. It’s just, I just don’t think there’s room for me for right now. Right now, yeah. Everyone in AEW is doing amazing. Everyone’s killing it. Why would they try and squeeze me in at any point right now? I’d rather sit at home than in catering too, you know what I mean? [Laughs] So that’s the thing. I know there is a lot left on the table. Maybe…my contract is coming to an end, and I kind of just want to take a step back from wrestling for a little bit and focus on everything outside of it. That’s not saying no, I’ll never come back to it. It’s not saying I’m giving up on wrestling forever. I love wrestling. Wrestling’s my life. I love it. I just want to focus on acting and this book and this podcast and these other things that I have in the tank right. 2025’s just going to be the year of Saraya, the non-wrestling side of her, I think. I think it’s really important to do that, take a little breather from wrestling," Saraya said.
