Former WWE star and a former two times WWE Divas’ Champion Paige who is currently going by the name of Saraya in AEW recently talked about her desire to wrestle men in the all Elite Wrestling and she also talked about the difficulties she might have to face.
Paige aka Saraya belongs from a professional wrestling family where her parents, her brother, everyone was involved with the world of wrestling. So it was not very difficult for her to get into the wrestling business. She spent more than 6 years on the independent circuit before joining WWE in 2011.
Saraya Reveals If He Would Wrestle Men In AEW
She had a fairly decent career in WWE and there was a time when she was treated as the top woman wrestler of the promotion. She had been a two times WWE Divas champion. But unfortunately she had to deal with career threatening neck injury which forced her to retirement. It was really heartbreaking for her fans.
But she recently made her return to action, even though it was unfortunate that WWE decided not to renew her contract. She joined the newly founded professional wrestling promotion AEW under her real name Saraya and fans are expecting to see her becoming the top name of the promotion in the upcoming days.
When she worked in WWE, she had to follow some norms. She could never wrestle men directly in WWE. But in AEW, there is no such rule, so she can definitely wrestle anyone she wishes, just like the indies. But the world has suddenly become so sensitive about women so it would be interesting to see how the world reacts if she gets beat down by a man in the AEW.
Paige who is currently going by the name of Saraya in AEW recently spoke to DJ Whoo Kid where she talked about her desire to wrestle men in the all Elite Wrestling and she also talked about the difficulties she might have to face. She said;
“It is, but you know, I feel people are really sensitive in this world, currently. It’s really hard to do matches like that without someone being offended by it. I would love to do matches like that.
“It writes itself. Ronnie even wanted to become part of it. A storyline, do something against Chris Jericho. He’s such a good bad guy. He plays a very good bad guy, and people love to hate him. I feel they [Ronnie and Jericho] would have a good storyline. I would love to wrestle one of the guys.
“If I have to beat up Chris Jericho, Jericho would be up for it. He doesn’t care, he’s a very selfless worker. He’s a good guy. He’ll wrestle anybody and if he has to let somebody win, he’ll be like, ‘Absolutely.’ There is never an ego there. He just wants to help people. I’m like, ‘Let me beat you. Let me beat you up.’ I’m gonna beat the shit out him, he’ll be fine,” she said with a laugh.”
