WWE may not be interested in bringing back Paige.
According to a report on Bodyslam.net, it appears that WWE officials aren’t interested in bringing back the former WWE Diva’s Champion. Of course, this report should be taken with a grain of salt, but Bodyslam.net has gotten a few other stories correct so it’s not an impossibility that officials just aren’t interested in bringing back Paige.
Saraya has been shouting from the rooftops that she would love to go back to the WWE. In fact, she explained her reasoning on why she would love to become Paige again on Chris Van Vliet’s Insight.
“Paige, 100%. I miss Paige so much. I tell people all the time. So again, when I went to AEW, I didn’t want to be close to my character in WWE because of the comparisons. I was like, Okay. And then I ended up being like a chicken sh*t heel with AEW. Which is all fun and good, but there’s a ceiling to that. Whereas Paige, I mean, she’s generational.
I love her. She’s bad ass, tough as nails, just screaming all the time. I loved being her. She was a f*cking badass. And that felt more like an elevated version of myself, rather than doing what I was doing in AEW. But again, that was my decision to be like that. But then I was like, Damn I wish I leaned more into my original character, but it is what it is. You live, you learn.”
Saraya even made it clear that she was open to being at Evolution if she was given the call. But it never happened. To be fair, the only legends who worked Evolution were Trish Stratus and Nikki Bella, whereas everyone else sat at ring side to showcase the women’s division throughout the years.
Now this can obviously change, especially with the Royal Rumble around the corner. Saraya didn’t necessarily have the best WWE exit, but that was due to treatment from Vince McMahon. Triple H has always been a fan of the former Diva’s Champion and unless some new story about how these two having heat emerge then it would be surprising if she never returns to WWE.
Nevertheless, Saraya is doing her own thing with the Rulebreakers podcast. She also just released a book. The 32-year-old is also busy at the moment, so Saraya will be fine ultimately, but it's strange that WWE has no interest in bringing her back as Saraya does add value to the women's division.
