Former WWE and current AEW wrestler Saraya recently spoke to Forbes about a variety of topics, including Vince McMahon’s possible return to WWE, heat between AEW and WWE, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On McMahon coming back to WWE: “He’s only been out for a couple of months! [laugh] I feel like WWE’s doing a really great job with Hunter in charge. And I feel like everyone backstage is very happy from what people have been telling me. People across the board are just happy, not saying they won’t be if Vince comes back, but I felt this breather was needed to really shake things up over there and get people excited. But if he comes back, is he going to undo everything Hunter [Triple H] has done? That’s the question, you just don’t know what’s going to happen. I don’t work there anymore, so I don’t have to worry about it. I have Tony [Khan], and he’s fantastic as a boss to me, so if I have any issues I can tell him and he’ll always be very clear with stuff. Whereas I just get nervous if Vince comes back for them because you just don’t know what he’s thinking on a a day-to-day basis.”
On heat between AEW and WWE: “When I was backstage in WWE, I didn’t see people talk s—t about AEW. People were just happy that there was another place for people to go. When people would get let go in WWE, we’d be so devastated for people. It would be like someone just died or something like that. But now, we’re just like ‘you have an opportunity in AEW now.’ We get happy for people who have a place that they can go that’s just as big, just as Goliath and just as gigantic.”
