Saraya Says Alicia Fox Never Received The Respect She Deserved For Her WWE Stint

During a recent interview with Josh Martinez for Superstar Crossover, AEW wrestler Saraya heaped praise on former WWE Superstar Alicia Fox, noting that the former Divas Champion hasn’t received the recognition she deserves as “a great wrestler,” more specifically for her incredible work in WWE.

Fox debuted on WWE SmackDown on June 13, 2008. Following the RAW Reunion special in 2019, WWE officially began referring to Fox as a legend.

Saraya said, “So I actually posted this recently, but like, I feel like Alicia Fox didn’t get her flowers for the longest time. Because if you look back at her stuff, it’s everything looks aggressive, but she’s safe. All her matches were good. You have to watch them back. Because every time I wrestled her, I felt really, really safe. So I felt like she was very underrated. Also, she was in the Divas era. So if people didn’t give her the chance, and just thought, ‘No, she’s a diva, she could possibly be a good wrestler,’ but no, she was a great wrestler.”

WWE released Fox following WrestleMania 35 in 2019. The female icon made a few appearances for the company following her release, including the 2021 and 2022 Women’s Royal Rumble matches.
