Saraya has been away from television programming of All Elite Wrestling since early October despite renewing her contract with the company. Injury rumors were around her absence which was wiped out by herself on social media and as such, she’s linked with TV projects to be away from the wrestling scene. Plus, we might be seeing a hotter version of the former WWE Superstar upon her TV comeback.
Most recently, Saraya attended the American Reality Television Awards which appeared to be her first public appearance in a while and it appeared that she was excited to be in a red-carpet event after such a long time. Appearing in an interview with The Buzz, she gave an update on her professional career and admitted to being away from AEW in-ring competition to be involved in outside TV projects.
“I’m taking a little break right now so I can do more of this stuff again. I haven’t been on a red carpet in a minute. It’s nice to be back,” Saraya quipped on the red carpet of the American Reality TV Awards. “I’m actually going to be co-hosting ‘Catfish’ soon. I already filmed the episode with Nev a few months ago. That should be fun.” (quotes courtesy Fightful)
