Saraya (Paige) Current WWE Status Update

AEW/WWE

Former AEW star Saraya (Paige) has addressed her current status with WWE following recent comments about a potential return.

The former AEW Women’s World Champion revealed that she had parted ways with the Tony Khan-led company in March 2025.

Having recently stated that she would happily return to WWE as Paige, Saraya has revealed her current status with the company and whether the two sides have had talks.

Speaking to WrestleZone, Saraya stated that she wants to get her “business and stuff” together this year, saying:

“That’s something that with this year, I kind of want to get all my business and stuff, deals out the way, like under my name and all that kind of stuff.”

She would then address the rumors of a WWE return, revealing that she hasn’t spoken to the company yet, explaining:

“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.”

She did say that she believes the current WWE regime would be more receptive to her continuing her outside projects, adding:

“I’m also focusing on my podcast, acting, all that kind of fun stuff too. I wouldn’t want it to affect my brand. And I feel like WWE now is being more open and receptive to people doing outside stuff. They are much more comfortable with that and are much more accepting of that. I feel like, if I ever did go back, I feel like they would be understanding at this point and kind of let me do my thing.

“But, I’m not trying to do anything crazy, nothing too wild. But I do want to be able to have the freedom to do what I want. That’s so important to me, is to have freedom. So, yeah. I feel like with Hunter (Triple H) now in charge too, he’s really great. He is great with his talent. He is understanding, like I said, of things that people want to do outside of wrestling. And I think this new era is probably a lot of fun now.”

Saraya left WWE in June 2022 after her contract expired, debuting in AEW later that year.

Her arrival in AEW saw her able to return to in-ring action for the first time since December 2017.

During her run in WWE, Paige was the first NXT Women’s Champion and a two-time Divas Champion.
