The Royal Rumble has come and gone, but leading up to the event there was a lot of speculation regarding who might return for the Royal Rumble matches. Saraya’s name kept making the rounds on social media and speculation intensified after she started posting videos of her training in the ring.
During a recent appearance on Wrestling With Freddie, Saraya talked about the women’s Royal Rumble match and she explained that the decision to bring her back has to be made by WWE, not her.
“Yeah, I wish I could be in the Rumble and there was a viral video circulating of the first-ever Women’s Royal Rumble, and it was the same year I got told I couldn’t wrestle again and no one knew it at the time, and then fast-forward, I do my retirement speech the day after WrestleMania but, no one knew at the time so I wasn’t part of it and I was backstage in Gorilla and I’m really emotional.
“They have images of me backstage just crying, just being like, ‘This is what I’ve always dreamed of. This is what I wanna be a part of. I hope one day I can be a part of it again.’ So that video was viral as well, and everyone’s just like hoping that I was gonna be in this Rumble, that I finally get to be a part of that, that I’ve always dreamed of being a part of. So yeah, it was incredible. I wish I was part of it but there’s more to it. WWE has to make that decision. Not me.”
