32-year-old former WWE star is "coming to the end" in AEW, retirement possible

A former WWE Divas Champion said she is coming to the end of her wrestling career, perhaps amid her absence from AEW television. The star also opened up on her potential retirement plans as well.

The 32-year-old former WWE star, Saraya (fka Paige), is apparently coming to the end of her wrestling career. After a memorable run in the Stamford-based promotion, Saraya signed with All Elite Wrestling in 2022. She also became the AEW Women's World Champion in 2023 but has not been involved in any major program since losing it.

Saraya has not been on TV since her last match on an episode of Dynamite in October 2024. Amid her absence, the former WWE Divas Champion opened up on her potential retirement plans.

During an interview with Sports Illustrated, Saraya admitted that she is coming to the end of her career, so she is letting people beat her to uplift her opponents.

“I’m letting people beat me, left, right and center. I was on a losing streak, but I just wanted people to get their rub. I want to uplift everybody. I’m not gonna be in wrestling forever. I’m coming to the end of it and it’s very soon. And I don’t wanna go out being like, I need to be on top,” Saraya said. [H/T: Inside The Ropes]
