Saraya (fka Paige) details WWE backstage reaction to her match at AEW Full Gear

Bayley and a number of WWE superstars congratulated AEW star Saraya after her momentous match.

Saraya (formerly known as Paige in WWE) made her in-ring comeback after neck injuries forced her to retire early. She retired in 2018, but at Full Gear 2022, she made a return to in-ring action by taking on Britt Baker.

The former NXT Women's Champion defeated the former AEW Women's Champion to mark her comeback with a massive win over the biggest female star in Tony Khan's company.

In an interview with TMZ Sports, Saraya said several superstars from the Stamford-based promotion congratulated her. She name-dropped Bayley, implying Bayley was one of the people who congratulated her.

"I feel like even WWE isn't going to stop someone from congratulating someone who did something so incredible like that," she said. "I mean, that's an inspiring thing and I just don't think they would get mad at someone like Bayley or anyone like that. It felt really great to have both sides be so supportive. When I got backstage after the match, everyone was like, 'Yay!' Like, coming up and hugging me and just, it felt really incredible, and then my phone being blown up from all the WWE crew too, it was just really, really nice to see." (H/T WrestlingInc)
