Saraya has big plans for the AEW women’s division.
Heading into AEW All In the topic of the women’s division has been a major topic of conversation. To add further fuel to the fire, Saraya liked a tweet that was heavily critical of the booking of The Outcasts, seemingly hinting at her own frustration.
Speaking to Scott Fishman of TVInsider, Saraya discussed storytelling in the women’s division, before praising Tony Khan for his work behind the scenes.
“Everyone loves a good story. It’s like going to a movie. You don’t want to see an hour-and-a-half constant fight scene. You want that break to tell a story. Men or women, I feel like it’s important to get that storytelling in there. I feel Tony does a good job. With the guys, you have Adam Cole and MJF. Every single week they have something great and entertaining. MJF is great with writing all his stuff out. Britt is the same way. She’ll have pitches upon pitches. Every girl is ready with pitches.
There is only a certain amount of time we can do things, but I’m grateful as a female to be the main eventing Dynamite and Rampage and getting this opportunity to be on Wembley. I feel we can get some good storytelling in the next week or so.
There is a little story going on where people are trying to read between the lines with Toni and Saraya in the same match and wondering how that is going to pan out. Everyone has their opinion on how the women’s division should be run, but at the end of the day, we’re grateful to get that time on TV,”
Expanding further the star said she wants to compete in Cage and Ladder Matches, continuing to push the women’s division into the main event on a regular basis.
“People have to realize AEW has only been in the business for four years. It’s very much a baby. We have so much time to let things grow and evolve. I’m sure going down the line there will be more situations for the women, more new faces that will come in. I’ll be there with open arms. I personally have never gotten to do stipulated matches in WWE. I want to do cage matches and ladder matches.
Personally, I would love to be part of it. I know Tony trusts the girls 100 percent to do things like that. Just more of that kind of stuff. I want us to continue to main event here and there. I’m not saying all the time, but it’s nice to have that spot. New faces coming in, and I welcome everyone. AEW is so wonderful about hiring new people.
I feel like in WWE I have to be a certain kind of way where AEW is friendly for everybody. It’s so inclusive. Just awesome. I feel very privileged of being part of such a wonderful company that is such a baby. You never would think at four years a company would be selling out Wembley Stadium. It’s incredible. I’m super thankful.”
