During the AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam edition back in September, Saraya made her return to professional wrestling TV by joining AEW. This move of hers has also sent shockwaves throughout the wrestling community as they could barely believe that the supposed WWE-lifer was All Elite, after all.
Moving further, Saraya got into a physical altercation with Britt Baker on AEW Dynamite that led to the speculations of her in-ring return. Then she shocked the world again by dropping the news of her medical clearance. Fans were excited to see her wrestle again and that indeed happened during the 2022 edition of the AEW Full Gear PPV event.

After picking up a win in her grand return against Britt Baker, Saraya is now set to return to the ring for her second match when AEW visits the KIA Forum in Los Angeles for a live taping of AEW Dynamite on January 11. Announcing the former WWE Superstar for a match such a long time ago means that the promotion wants to stack things up for that particular episode.

The setup begins with Saraya during the December 7 episode of AEW Dynamite where she was interrupted in a segment that saw Tony Schiavone congratulating her on her successful return to pro wrestling at Full Gear. Baker interrupted and stated the following in that backstage segment,
“Congrats on the biggest win of your entire career. It will never happen again. You told me I’ve been handed everything on a silver platter, but your very first match in AEW was on pay-per-view against the biggest star in the women’s division – me.”

The DMD then proceeded to throw down a challenge to a match for the January 11 episode of AEW Dynamite. At first, Saraya presumed Baker was challenging her to another singles bout but then the latter clarified that she and AEW Women’s World Champion Jamie Hayter were challenging Saraya and a mystery partner to a tag team match.
Henceforth, Saraya will have to choose an opponent to be her partner during AEW Dynamite’s debut episode in the LA area. She already dropped a tweet later saying “Who should I pick?” while responding to a video clip of the segment. This led the fans to speculate names such as Thunder Rosa, Sasha Banks, and Naomi as her possible tag team partners. Some also think that AJ Lee could be an option given the history between the two of them.
