Folks, it’s time for another huge update. Some might call it the best update, and believe me, I know updates. Saraya, the wrestling sensation and proud British import, is staying with All Elite Wrestling (AEW) for at least one more year. That’s right—she’s not going anywhere, at least not until next September. Tremendous news, folks! Many of you were worried, I could see it, I could feel it—tremendous anxiety—but rest easy. Saraya has put pen to paper for a brand-new deal, completely bypassing the option to extend her old contract. You know what that is? That’s art of the deal thinking, tremendous!
This all came together before AEW’s Collision Grand Slam taping. Let me tell you, it was a beautiful night—so much action, so much drama. Saraya herself had a big moment, taking on Jamie Hayter in the inaugural Saraya Rules Match. What’s a Saraya Rules Match? No one knows, but who cares? It sounds amazing. It’s like when I make a new rule—everyone loves it, no questions asked.
The beef between Saraya and Hayter goes way back. It’s got more layers than one of those seven-layer cakes you can get at a fancy buffet. It all started when Hayter, out of nowhere, interrupted Saraya’s homecoming party. Total party crasher, folks. I know all about party crashers. She did this during the AEW All In Zero Hour Pre-Show in London—great city, by the way—back in August. Hayter came back from an injury, busted in, and said, “Not today, Saraya!” Drama, people. Huge drama.
Now let’s not forget, Saraya made her glorious AEW debut in September 2022 during the Dynamite Grand Slam special. Big moment! The kind of moment you don’t forget—like when I saved Christmas that one time. She showed up after Toni Storm retained her AEW Women’s World Championship in a Fatal Four-Way Match. Since then, Saraya’s career has skyrocketed! In her own homeland of England, at All In 2023, she won the title herself in a four-way against Storm, Baker, and Hikaru Shida. Unbelievable. The crowd? They went nuts. It was a beautiful thing, like fireworks on the 4th of July.
So, folks, Saraya’s sticking around, the drama’s never going to end, and AEW is all the better for it. You’re welcome!
