Saraya does not want people to get their hopes up for a 2025 return.

After several years as a member of All Elite Wrestling, Saraya’s time with the company came to an end. She’s been on a media tour speaking about her AEW run and her new book.

One of her stops along the tour was the Grue Rume Show. She expressed that she’s surprised at the number of people that want to see her back in WWE.

She’s taking the remainder of 2025 to focus on other projects, but she would love to return one day and potentially have a match against Rhea Ripley. Saraya praised WWE’s women’s division and questioned if there’s a place for her in the division.

Yeah, so, I do want to take 2025 as a time to find myself a little bit and kind of get my feet wet outside of wrestling, and it’s something, like, I definitely wanna do. I didn’t realize as many people would wanna see me back in WWE (she laughed). I am very insecure with the way I feel like people think about me. I get in my head a little bit and so, the fact that — I mean, it’s just insane how many people are talking about me going back to WWE and I just want people just to don’t get your hopes up. At least this year. I kind of wanna take 2025 to do acting and all that kind of fun stuff but one day, I would love to. I mean, Rhea’s amazing. She’s a powerhouse. Everybody there. The women’s roster there right now is stacked so, yeah, it’s incredible and they’re doing really wonderful things. I don’t know if there’s even a place for me there right now but… I get that a lot. I’ve got that in other interviews too. Everyone’s very like, ‘Go home.’

The last time Saraya wrestled was on an October episode of AEW Dynamite. Per PWInsider, her brother Zak Knight is no longer with the company either.
