A wrestling fan recently claimed on social media that Rhea Ripley is better than Saraya (fka Paige). The English star responded with a one-word message.
The Eradicator has been out of action since sustaining an injury at the hands of Liv Morgan on Monday Night RAW earlier this year. She was forced to relinquish the Women's World Championship she had successfully defended against Becky Lynch at WrestleMania XL - a title that Morgan currently holds.
On the other hand, Saraya competed in tag team action alongside Harley Cameron and Anna Jay on the June 26, 2024, episode of AEW Dynamite in an unsuccessful effort against Mariah May, Mina Shirakawa, and reigning AEW Women's World Champion, Toni Storm. The Anti-Diva recently posted a reel on her Instagram profile, walking through backstage with her original AEW theme song "Zombified" playing in the background.
A fan commented under the reel, disrespectfully asserting Rhea Ripley's superiority over the former WWE Superstar. The former AEW Women's World Champion issued a one-word response in return:
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
"@sourapplebaby_1999 [username of the fan] cool?"

AEW made a major announcement regarding Saraya
Tony Khan announced some time ago that the winners of the 2024 Men's and Women's Owen Hart Cup would receive the opportunity to challenge for the AEW World Championship and the AEW Women's World Championship, respectively, at All In 2024. The brackets for the tournament were revealed, with the former Paige scheduled to face Mariah May in a quarterfinal bout.
All Elite Wrestling recently announced that the former WWE Divas Champion's match against The Glamour will take place during the Zero-Hour pre-show of Forbidden Door 2024. Taking to X/Twitter, AEW President Tony Khan wrote:
"This Sunday, @UBSArena 6/30 Forbidden Door Zero Hour Owen Hart Foundation Tournament @MariahMayx vs @Saraya. These 2 rivals will go 1-on-1 chasing a @wembleystadium World Title shot when former champion Saraya fights Mariah May in the @owen_foundation Quarterfinal this Sunday."
Check out the tweet below:
In their previous singles encounter earlier this month on Dynamite, the former WWE star defeated May. It remains to be seen whether the former Norfolk Doll will prevail in their rematch in the UBS Arena.
