A fan recently remembered the title match between the former WWE Superstar and Bella in response to NXT Superstar Arianna Grace's tweet on their favorite match of all time:

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

"Actually fun fact. We decided to do that match because we were scared our match would get cut or time slashed at the ppv that was coming up! @BellaTwins remember that? twas a different time." tweeted the AEW star.

At AEW Rampage: Grand Slam, the 30-year old star made her debut much to everyone's surprise, including the talent. It seems that she was hidden away in plain sight in a bid to prevent any leaks of her presence that night. The former WWE Superstar made her intentions clear with the upliftment of the women's division the sole focus of her signing with All Elite Wrestling.


Will Saraya face Britt Baker in her first match following injury?

On her first AEW appearance, the former Divas Champion indirectly announced her involvement in overlooking the women's division. However, in the weeks that followed, she got into a heated exchange with Britt Baker.

Earlier this month, it was reported that the former NXT Women's Champion was cleared by the AEW medical team to compete in the ring again. She suffered a severe neck injury during a live event which made her future as a competitor unclear.

With the next pay-per-view Full Gear around the corner, fans might get to witness the former Anti-Diva in action again. While her first addressal to fans upon her AEW debut did not sit well with them, it remains to be seen how she is utilized and booked for the promotion.
