Former AEW and WWE star Saraya is a modern-day great. She recently departed from All Elite Wrestling after spending three years in the company. Even though her overall stint there was underwhelming, she held the AEW Women's World Championship once.
One of Saraya's favorite wrestlers is WWE Superstar CM Punk. Back in 2019, the Best in the World unexpectedly showed up on an episode of WWE Backstage. The former Paige, who was a part of this show's panel was completely unaware that Punk was going to join them.
As soon as the former World Champion's music hit, The Anti-Diva was speechless. In a recent interview with Muscle Memory with Muscle Man Malcolm, she candidly spoke about this memorable moment. She revealed that apart from Renee Paquette, no one else in that panel knew what was about to happen.
"I was so surprised! I turned into a right fan. I was like "What the heck?". And Renee knew and she looks at me and I was like 'You didn't tell me?!'. You know she tells me everything. We had no idea he was coming. He was hidden all day. And I had no idea and then music hit and I was like "What the heck?". And it was great and he was really fun to work with," [From 16:30 to 17:00]
