Former AEW Champion Will Always Hold ‘Soft Spot’ For WWE’s Triple H

AEW/WWE

A former AEW Women’s World Champion has shared her thoughts on Triple H, revealing a “soft spot” for WWE’s Chief Content Officer.

Known to AEW fans as Saraya, the former champion was Paige in WWE and would make her televised debut in the early days of NXT.

With Triple H overseeing NXT, Paige would become NXT Women’s Champion before heading to the main roster to become a two-time WWE Divas Champion.

In a recent interview with Pokerscout, Saraya has shared her thoughts on Triple H, revealing she has a ‘soft spot’ for the current WWE Chief Content Officer, saying:

“With Hunter, I will always hold a soft spot because he helped the women more than people realise, when he took over NXT, he trusted us to have these long matches. He gave us time, he gave us the opportunities, he let us do moves that women weren’t doing before or hadn’t done in a very long time or what Vince didn’t allow us to do. So I’m very grateful for him.

“I’m sure everyone has an opinion on the way he runs it (WWE), no one’s ever gonna be fully happy, and there’s gonna be people that are really happy with the way it’s going.

“I think he’s doing a great job. I feel there’s not much I can say because it’s not just him, there’s a room full of writers that are on the road and at home, and there’s so many people that are writing this show. So if something’s not great, a lot of people go on the attack with Hunter, and people don’t realise it’s not just him. He’s just trying to put on the best show that he possibly can.”

While Paige is yet to make a decision on her in-ring future, having left AEW earlier this year, she did reveal that she would like to face Rhea Ripley should a WWE return take place.

Having left WWE in 2022, Saraya had previously revealed that Triple H contacted her before she signed with AEW.
