When you think of AJ Lee certain names come to mind. Naomi, The Bella Twins, Kaitlyn, but Paige (Saraya) is another name on that list.
In a recent interview with Busted Open Radio, the inaugural NXT Women’s Champion Saraya gave her thoughts on AJ’s recent return.
“When I watched AJ, I’ve watched that over and over again, because she’s my fairy godmother. I love her so much. She’s the one that kind of took me under her wing when I first came up on the roster, too. We traveled together and we had the frenemies thing.
My social media has not stopped. It has blown up. I cannot go on there without hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people doing videos being like, ‘Please bring Saraya back, please bring Paige back.’
And I get excited because I keep forgetting, I feel like people don’t like me anymore – and it feels pretty insecure and I’m not trying to get sympathy, but it made me really emotional for the past couple of days, and I have shed some tears about it because I’m like, oh my god, people still like me and they still want me to be around
— With AJ, I would love to be her tag partner again or run it back eventually. I’m not saying right away. She needs her moment, people are excited for her to come back. Maybe one day. We’ll see.”
Saraya as Paige was part of AJ Lee’s final match in WWE back in 2015. They teamed up together with Naomi and defeated The Bellas and Natalya. Since then Saraya had returned to the ring for AEW and is now a free agent.
