AEW star Saraya is fed up with the online abuse—and she didn’t hold back after learning she ranks among the most harassed wrestlers on the internet.
A new report from Cryptomaniaks.com analyzed social media data from April 2024 to April 2025 and ranked the top 15 wrestlers receiving the most online hate. Saraya landed in the top five, alongside Charlotte Flair, Nia Jax, Mercedes Moné, and Tegan Nox.
After the list went viral, Saraya fired back on Twitter with a pointed message:
“IWC needs to reevaluate how they treat women in wrestling.”
Her response struck a nerve with fans—and for good reason. The study found that Charlotte Flair was the most targeted athlete in the entire report, not just among wrestlers, racking up a 36.4% negativity rating. Nia Jax followed with 35.3%. Saraya, Mercedes Moné, and Tegan Nox weren’t far behind, showing a clear trend: women in wrestling are bearing the brunt of online toxicity.
The full list also included CM Punk, Chris Jericho, The Young Bucks, Cora Jade, Jon Moxley, Jade Cargill, Alexa Bliss, Britt Baker, Will Ospreay, and a tie between Ricochet, Natalya, and Nikki Bella. But it was the women who dominated the top slots—and Saraya wasn’t about to let that slide.
Her callout comes at a time when fan behavior online is under serious scrutiny. From relentless criticism to personal attacks, the line between criticism and harassment continues to blur, especially for female talent trying to do their jobs without being digitally torn apart.
If Saraya’s post proves anything, it’s that the conversation around respect in wrestling fandom is far from over.
