Her departure comes after names like Penta and Ricky Starks (now known as Ricky Saint) made the jump from AEW to WWE, while other stars like Rey Fenix and Aleister Black are poised to follow suit after recent vignettes on Raw and SmackDown.

Saraya joined AEW in September 2022 after her WWE release in July 2022. She had not wrestled in nearly a half-decade due to a neck injury, and AEW allowed her to get back in the ring. During her time in AEW, Saraya won the Women's World Championship once. She held the championship for 44 days before dropping it to Hikaru Shida.
