Saraya Jade Bevis, currently performing as Saraya in All Elite Wrestling, has been one of the most prominent names in women’s professional wrestling for a long time. Ever since her NXT debut in 2012, the women’s icon has only taken her game to the next level in terms of in-ring skills as well as on-mic charisma.
After a spectacular career as a performer in the Stamford-based promotion, the former WWE Divas Champion retired from in-ring competition in December 2017. Her retirement was forced due to injuries, but things took a surprising turn when she made her AEW debut in September 2022.
Following her surprising return to in-ring action, Saraya went on to participate in some high-profile feuds. However, the performer is not getting any younger, and many fans speculate if she’s in the end phase of her pro wrestling career. So, let’s take a deep dive into the former WWE Divas Champion’s AEW contract and check out if she’s retiring soon.
According to Wrestling Junkie, the women’s professional wrestling icon signed a three-year contract with Tony Khan’s company. As she signed the deal around September 2022, Saraya is expected to be with the Jacksonville-based promotion until late 2025.
Even though the Stamford-based promotion‘s former Divas Champion may not be in her prime years, she can still go all the way with the young generation and is surely not retiring anytime soon. As Saraya is still under a 2-year AEW contract, she’ll surely get featured on television frequently, and who knows if she’ll soon win the top prize in the promotion’s women’s division?
Can Saraya finally fulfill her dream after 9 long years?
While many fans have been speculating that Saraya is probably going to retire soon. The matter of fact is that her win against Skye Blue on Rampage‘s August 11 episode has taken the former WWE star one step closer to finally fulfilling a dream after nine years.
Popularly known as Paige during her stint with the Stamford-based promotion, the All Elite Wrestling performer hasn’t won any Championships for over nine years. But, with her recent win against Skye, she booked her ticket as the third woman to qualify for the AEW Women’s Champion bout at All In London.
Now, Women’s Champion Hikaru Shida will defend her title against Toni Storm, Britt Baker, and former WWE Divas Champion Saraya. As the women’s wrestling icon has paved her way to the fatal four-way match, she’ll now have the opportunity to dethrone Hikaru from her title, thus ending the championship drought.
Tony Khan’s company will organize the event at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, August 27, and looking at the match card, it is expected to be a spectacular show. It’ll be interesting to see if Saraya can finally fulfill her title dream after nine long years at AEW’s All In PPV.
