A Knight family member says Saraya kayfabed the family ahead of her title win at AEW All In.

At AEW All In London, Saraya defeated Hikaru Shida, Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. and Toni Storm to win the AEW Women’s World Championship.

Prior to the bout, the UK-born star came out with her legendary Knight family, including her mother, father, brother and other members. After her win, the family came into the ring to celebrate with the new champion.

On a recent episode of Busted Open Radio, Saraya’s brother Zak Zodiac discussed his sister’s championship win in Wembley Stadium in depth. He said:

“Absolutely. I want to let the world know, Saraya’s actually writing her book. When she found out that this was happening, she kayfabed the family. Trust me, we didn’t have a single clue.”

“She loves to work us. But she [told] Tony, look, you don’t even know, but you’ve actually just given me the ending to my book.”

“Saraya started on top, and you’re constantly then chasing that feeling, that moment. How am I gonna recreate what she got at the very beginning of her career with WWE.”

“Day one, winning the Divas Championship, being the current NXT Champion, all this at not even 20 years old, and she was the first. Saraya Two Belts, let’s not forget that.”

“But honestly, we turned up yesterday, me, Saraya, and RKJ, we all turned up at 11 a.m. as soon as you walk into that stadium, it had a different energy, a different feel to any event that I’ve done in my 20-year career.”

Describing the energy of that day in Wembley Stadium for AEW All In London, Zak said:

“I had goosebumps all day. The energy was just electric. We knew that something special was happening.”

“As that stadium started to fill and more people are taking their seats, there’s 80,000 people there, goodness gracious.”

“The U.K. has been calling out for this for a long time. They supported that event last night. The market here is huge. They just want people to come here.”

“This really is an untapped market, it has been for a very long time, and I’m so glad that Tony Khan had the balls to say, ‘I’m booking Wembley Stadium. All In’s gonna be our annual event, our big show.”

Zodiac continued on to praise Saraya for overcoming a number of obstacles in her life and career to get to where she is today, saying:

“To see my sister go in there, make history and have that full-circle moment to be crowned world champion again after everything that she’s had to do, it’s not just a career-ending injury.”

“Let’s not forget about the tapes that were leaked that gave her a mindset of, she can’t carry on. The mental health, the drug addiction, the alcohol addiction, she’s had to fight for the last few years, just to find herself. That’s about her professional career.”

“Then to go out there, win the championship at Wembley Stadium in London, England, with all the Knight family there, I’m getting goosebumps, guys.”

“That will never be duplicated. Well, until I do it, maybe next year, right? [laughs].”

As previously reported, Saraya provided an update on her in-ring future after winning the AEW Women’s World Championship during the AEW All In media scrum.
