Saraya reacts to epic WWE return

Former Divas Champion Saraya, aka Paige, has reacted to an epic WWE return. This week on SmackDown, the anticipation was high for the return of a beloved star, and it delivered on all fronts.

AJ Lee made her much-awaited return to WWE after 10 years and went after the Women's Intercontinental Champion, Becky Lynch. This blockbuster return has got the WWE Universe talking, and many stars have shared their reactions online.

Saraya, who was one of the last wrestlers to share the ring with Lee in a match, also took to X (Twitter) to express her delight at the big return.

"F*ck, my heart is so full watching @TheAJMendez come back. Love you sister. Go show ‘em why you’re the best in the world ❤️," she wrote in the post.

AJ Lee returned during the last segment of SmackDown after Becky Lynch had slapped her husband, CM Punk. The Second City Saint claimed he wouldn't put his hands on a woman, but he knew someone who might.

Lee came out to a thunderous response from the fans in the Allstate Arena in Chicago. She went after Lynch and took her down before grabbing the Women's Intercontinental Title.

With Punk at odds with Seth Rollins and The Man, it is likely that he will team up with AJ Lee to take on the duo in a mixed tag team match soon.

Saraya and AJ Lee have history

Saraya made her main roster WWE debut on the RAW after WrestleMania 30. She got into a confrontation with the then-Divas Champion, AJ Lee, who slapped her and challenged her to a match.

Saraya would shockingly beat Lee to win the championship after hitting a Paige Turner. This made her the youngest Divas Champion at the age of 21. The two stars would exchange the championship a few more times between them that year.

AJ Lee would then team up with her at WrestleMania 31 as they beat The Bella Twins.

Sherjeel Malik is a writer at Sportskeeda and covers pro wrestling. He was hooked on the product from the moment he saw The Hardy Boyz jumping off ladders during the Attitude Era. While he comes from an engineering background, Sherjeel’s love for pro wrestling and content writing led him to pursue a career in sports journalism. Before assuming his current role at Sportskeeda, Sherjeel worked at other reputable organizations for five years.

While writing articles, he ensures that he only relies on credible sources for information and covers relevant subjects that do not project an agenda against a particular person or association. WWE legend Paul Heyman once shared Sherjeel’s work on his social media handle.

Sherjeel’s earliest memory of pro wrestling is watching Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker square off for the WWE Title in the main event of a pay-per-view in 1998. His favorite wrestlers are Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy. While he admires Orton for his character work as a heel, he looks up to Jeff because of his unique wrestling style and risk-taking ability.

If he could go back to the Attitude Era, Sherjeel would like to manage Ken Shamrock and be his mouthpiece. He feels Shamrock’s promo skills prevented him from becoming a main event-level act in WWE. Hence, he would like to help the UFC Hall of Famer get over with fans.

When not writing about pro wrestling, he likes to read classics and fiction books.
