Saraya may be back training in the ring in 2026, but when she meets fans face-to-face, the conversations aren’t about title runs or dream matches. Instead, the former WWE Divas Champion says supporters are opening up about something far more personal.
During her appearance on Muscle Memory at WrestleFest, Saraya was asked what stands out most when people come up to her at signings. With long lines forming throughout the event, it’s clear her connection with fans hasn’t faded. But according to Saraya, the feedback she’s getting isn’t about wrestling stats — it’s about real life. She explained that sobriety is one of the biggest topics fans bring up when they meet her.
“You know, a lot of them have been saying stuff about obviously sobriety, which is amazing.”
Saraya has been open for years about her struggles and her journey toward sobriety, and she says that honesty continues to resonate deeply with supporters. But that’s not the only thing people mention. She revealed that many fans credit her with helping them feel comfortable in their own skin — especially those who felt different or out of place growing up.
“But a lot of guys and girls have said I taught them how to be themselves and it’s good to be the weirdo, the misfit, the o, you know, like that promo that I did.”
She was referencing her iconic “anti-Diva” era promo, a moment that still connects years later. According to Saraya, that message continues to land with fans who saw themselves in her. She made it clear that this impact means more to her than anything else.
“And that hit home for them. So, you know, as long as I can help people be themselves, that’s all I give a about, you know.”
For someone who has experienced career highs, devastating injuries, public scrutiny, and personal reinvention, Saraya’s legacy may ultimately be less about championships and more about influence.
While fans speculate about her in-ring future and potential wrestling return, the message she’s hearing at signings tells a different story — one centered on authenticity, sobriety, and self-acceptance. Saraya’s bond with her audience clearly runs deeper than wrestling storylines.
