Saraya’s AEW Future Up in the Air as Contract Nears Expiration

Former WWE Diva’s Champion Saraya, now a prominent figure in All Elite Wrestling (AEW), is in the midst of contract negotiations with the company, as her current deal is set to expire next month. While conversations regarding an extension have begun, the future of the charismatic star in AEW remains uncertain.

Saraya made a triumphant return to the wrestling world when she debuted for AEW at the Grand Slam episode of Dynamite in 2022. Following her arrival, fans were thrilled to learn she was cleared to compete again, a remarkable achievement after overcoming a career-threatening neck injury. Her in-ring comeback at Full Gear 2022 against Britt Baker was a defining moment for both her and the company.

According to a report from Fightful Select, Saraya’s contract with AEW extends at least until September, with option years included in the agreement. However, the details surrounding these options have been a subject of internal debate.While there are conflicting claims about who holds the option years, it’s clear that both sides have initiated discussions about potentially extending the deal by at least a year. This could involve exercising one of the existing option years or negotiating an entirely new contract.

Despite the contract uncertainty, Saraya is reportedly planned for this year’s All In pay-per-view, a significant event for AEW. Her involvement in the show would undoubtedly be a major draw for fans.

The former AEW Women’s World Champion has been a valuable asset to the company since her arrival. Her captivating personality and in-ring abilities have made her a fan favorite, and her championship reign added another layer to her star power. However, her tenure at the top was short-lived, as she lost the title to Hikaru Shida just 44 days after winning it.

Intriguingly, Saraya has kept the door open for a potential return to WWE. In previous interviews, she revealed that she had a conversation with Triple H upon her departure from the company in 2022. While it was the previous regime’s decision to release her, Triple H left the possibility of a future return open-ended.

With her contract nearing its expiration, the wrestling world is watching closely to see where Saraya’s career will take her next. AEW fans will undoubtedly be hoping for an extension, while WWE supporters will be keeping a watchful eye on the situation.
