A former WWE Divas Champion disclosed how Stephanie McMahon calmed her down before her return years ago. The star also revealed her conversations with Stephanie.
Former three-time WWE champion, Saraya (fka Paige), overcame a panic attack thanks to Stephanie McMahon. Saraya is known for her time in the Stamford-based promotion from 2012 until signing with AEW in 2022. She recently recalled her return in 2017 after the infamous private video leak.
During an interview with Andro Mammo, Saraya recollected how she suffered a panic attack backstage before walking out in the arena for her return. The erstwhile Paige also revealed that Stephanie McMahon calmed her down:

"Stephanie [McMahon] walks up to me and she pulls me up and she just holds me, gives me the biggest hug, and it instantly calms me down. But then she whispers in my ear. She was like, 'This is your house, go out there, people are going to love you.' It's amazing, yeah, and she said, 'Let it sink in. If they are chanting, don't say anything, just enjoy it.' She was like, 'You need to remember this, soak it in.' She was amazing, and I was just like, 'Okay, I can do this.'"
Saraya further said that Stephanie has a calming energy:
"And I walked out, and they were going crazy and they started chanting, so I just stopped doing...what Stephanie told me to just embrace it. And without her in that moment, I don't know...I would've definitely gone out there, but probably thinking differently and tripping over my words or something, but she just has this calming energy about her."
