2022 was a wild year for professional wrestling and WWE let Paige’s contract expired. Paige had been retired from in-ring competition for several years, but she has since returned to the ring as Saraya in All Elite Wrestling.
Saraya is now part of the AEW women’s division, but it sounds like Triple H was caught off guard when it comes to the situation with her and WWE. The former WWE Divas Champion recently spoke to Metro about her relationship with Triple H and she noted that The Game offered to bring her back as a GM with the possibility of an in-ring return.
“Man, I do love Hunter, he’s so fantastic. He was like, ‘Wait what happened?!’ I was like, ‘I dunno, they haven’t renewed my contract.’ He was like, ‘Oh my gosh! Well I didn’t know that, so I’m sorry!’ He was really fantastic. He did give me the opportunity to potentially be a GM again, and give me the opportunity to be like, ‘If you ever potentially want to wrestle again, I’ll give you that opportunity too.’ He was very open about any ideas that I had.”
When it was all said and done Saraya decided to sign with AEW instead of returning to WWE. She will be in action this week on Dynamite when she teams with Toni Storm to face AEW Women’s Champion Jamie Hayter and Britt Baker.
