The decision for Saraya to capture the AEW Women’s World Championship at All In 2023 was a late call.
Saraya’s victory at AEW’s largest event was the British star’s first title win in nine years and her first match in her native England since 2016.
Fightful Select is reporting that the decision to make Saraya the champion was a late call according to those familiar with the situation.
It is unclear how far ahead of the show Tony Khan made the decision but those closest to Saraya say she learned no further than a day prior.
At AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam, Saraya had her first title defense, retaining her championship against Toni Storm.
AEW has already confirmed All In 2024 for Wembley Stadium, with the promotion’s second UK event due to happen on August 25.
