Saraya’s AEW Contract Set to Expire

Saraya could find herself on the free agent market soon, as her contract with AEW is set to expire in September.

Sources have told Fightful Select that while Saraya’s deal includes option years that could extend her stay with AEW, there are ongoing discussions about her future with the company.

The specifics of the option years have been a topic of internal debate, with some sources claiming that both AEW and Saraya hold options to extend the contract. However, what is clear is that the two sides are actively negotiating, whether it’s for a new deal or the exercise of an existing option to extend her contract by another year.

Saraya made a significant impact in AEW, capturing the AEW Women’s World Championship at All In but losing the title to Hikaru Shida a few weeks later. Her journey has been particularly notable given that she was forced into retirement for nearly five years due to a serious neck injury. Despite this, she made a triumphant return to the ring, solidifying her legacy as one of wrestling’s most resilient and determined competitors.

Interestingly, when Saraya left WWE in 2022, she had a conversation with Triple H, during which it was indicated that the door remained open for a possible return, though her departure was a decision made by the previous regime.

While Saraya doesn’t currently have a match scheduled for AEW All In, she is planned to be a part of the show and is also set to compete for the AEW Women’s World Championship on Wednesday.

With her contract status in flux, it will be intriguing to see whether Saraya remains with AEW or explores new opportunities in the wrestling world. Fans will undoubtedly be watching closely to see what’s next for the “Fighting With My Family” star.
