A notable AEW star’s contract is currently set to expire next month, with conversations having begun regarding an extension.
Former WWE Diva’s Champion Saraya (FKA Paige) made her debut for AEW back at the Grand Slam episode of AEW Dynamite in 2022.
Following her debut, Saraya was cleared to return to in-ring competition, returning to the ring at Full Gear in 2022, taking on Britt Baker.
In an update on Saraya’s status with AEW from Fightful Select (subscription required), Saraya’s contract with the company extends until at least September, where there were option years available for her.
The nature of the option years has been “up for debate internally” as sources have claimed each side held them, but Fightful reports the two sides have “at least been in talks” for a potential extension of the current deal for a year – whether that be the option in the current contract being exercised, or an entirely new contract.
Fightful notes that, while Saraya does not currently have an official match announced for this year’s All In, she is “planned for the show”.
Last year, she won AEW Women’s World Championship, before losing it back to Hikaru Shida just 44 days later.
Saraya has mentioned in interviews that the door was left open for a WWE return after she had a conversation with Triple H upon her departure in 2022, as it was the previous regime’s decision to not have her re-sign.
