In 2022, professional wrestler Saraya made a notable comeback to the sport, joining AEW soon after her departure from WWE.
The excitement surrounding her return was palpable, reaching a pinnacle when she emerged victorious in her match against Britt Baker at AEW Full Gear. Despite the triumphant comeback, however, Saraya faced significant hurdles.
In a recent conversation with The Guardian, Saraya candidly spoke about the major obstacles during her initial period with AEW, which left her questioning her choice to return to the wrestling scene. In her own words, she said,
“Going back was so hard. My body was no longer a giant callus. I wasn’t a tough, giant scab any more – I was soft and to start taking all the bumps again was awful. I did think I’d made a mistake at first.”
