Paige formally retired from in-ring competition in 2018 due to an injury, at age 24. Following her retirement, she remained with WWE as a contributor to WWE-related programs and fulfilled managing roles until her contract with the company expired in July 2022.

However, In September 2022, she officially signed with AEW and made her debut for the company at Grand Slam. There was still no confirmation on her in-ring return, but On 9 November 2022, it was publically released Saraya is 100% cleared to return to the ring and will do so against Britt Baker at Full Gear.



Saraya recently spoke with Chris Van Vliet to promote her match and stated that WWE's Sasha Banks was one of the first people she informed that she is back!

“One of the first people I texted was Mercedes, Sasha Banks because Sasha went through a lot too. She wasn't the one that was hurt, but she was the one who accidentally ended someone's career. She went through a lot mentally, like, social media were cruel to her. Then it just messed her up in general, because she was just like, 'I can't believe that happened.'

It was a freak accident, you know, wrestling is wrestling, you're gonna get hurt eventually. Luckily, if you don't, you know, in your whole career. you don't get hurt, that's a miracle in itself, but it happens. I just wanted her to be one of the first people to know that I was like, 'I'm back. You don't have to stress anymore, like I'm back. You didn't end it, I'm good.' She was just over the moon. She was so happy. She was very pleased for me. She was very encouraging. I just like the fact that it kind of took all that weight off her shoulders too.”



“I really wanted to have that match for Sasha. Like, I wanted to have that rematch with her, because we have a built in story you know, so I really wanted that. But she's kind of going down her own path and stuff now, doing her own thing. You don't know where she's going to be. She has an exciting life going on right now. I'm very pleased and like she's building her career outside of wrestling too, you know, awesome, and Naomi. So it's really really cool to see.

But I get to face Britt too, who I've always wanted to face, and then in this brand new company as well. The crazy part is that she's always been like a big fan of mine. I've seen the interviews with Britt. I've seen them all. She was a fan of mine so it's kind of cool that I get to have a comeback story with her, and she's so supportive. So I'm excited. I'm excited to have that match. One day I'll have that match with Sasha, though."

It should be noted that Sasha Banks has been out of in-ring action since waling out of WWE During the May 16 episode of Raw. Banks and Naomi reportedly walked out on WWE after a meeting with Vince McMahon due to a creative dispute.
