Saraya Names the WWE Matches She Always Wanted, But Hasn’t Had Talks About a Return

Saraya may no longer be with AEW, but she’s made it clear her in-ring career isn’t over just yet. If she has her way, she’s hoping to finally check off a couple of WWE match types that slipped through the cracks during her run there.

In a recent interview with TV Insider, Saraya revealed that two matches have always been on her bucket list: the Royal Rumble and the Elimination Chamber.

“I didn’t get to do a Royal Rumble or an Elimination Chamber or anything I didn’t get to do,” Saraya explained. “Maybe down the line I will get to do them, who knows?”

Despite the hopeful tone, Saraya was clear that, for now, there’s been no actual contact with WWE about making that happen. Speaking with WrestleZone, she shot down recent rumors swirling about a potential return, saying:

“People think I’m going back to WWE or whatever, because there’s this huge rumor mill happening right now. But I haven’t spoken to them. At least not right now, I haven’t spoken to them.”

While she’s not booking her return to WWE just yet, Saraya is thinking about how she’d prepare for it if the opportunity ever came up. During her chat with TV Insider, she mentioned she’s got her eyes on some extra ring time — specifically, with one of her old "Total Divas" co-stars:

“I want to do the training side of things; I want to go to Nattie’s training school and get in the ring with her. That’s my focus this year.”

Saraya and Natalya share plenty of history, both inside the ring and from their time together on reality TV, and Natalya's Dungeon school has become a trusted place for both veterans and newcomers to sharpen their skills.

Outside the ring, Saraya is also keeping busy with the release of her new memoir, Hell in Boots: Clawing My Way Through Nine Lives, which is out now. The book covers her full rollercoaster of a career, from her early days in Norwich to the height of WWE fame, the setbacks, scandals, and her rebirth in AEW.
