Saraya Considering New Moveset as She Prepares for Possible Wrestling Return

Saraya is dead serious about getting back in the ring—and this time, she’s doing it on her own terms.

During the latest episode of her Rule Breakers podcast, the former AEW and WWE star revealed she’s entering 2026 with a new attitude, a health reset, and her eye on the ropes. After openly admitting she picked up vaping again, Saraya said she’s ditching the habit—for good—because she’s thinking about lacing up the boots once more.

“If I was to get back in the ring again, I want to be able to run the ropes and take bumps without dying,” she said, making it clear that her comeback isn’t just a fantasy.

Saraya added that she’s already been preparing her body and mind for a return, admitting she’s been going back through old footage to find what she used to do—and how she can make it better this time around.

“I’ve been watching some old tapes of me and all that kind of stuff ‘cause I forget half the things that I used to do. And then I’ve been watching tapes from like the '80s and '90s and stuff like that—that’s where I got the PTO from—Scorpion cross lock—I just modified it a little bit.”

Saraya’s not just replaying the hits either. She’s focused on upgrading her arsenal with new and original offense, while respecting the boundaries of move ownership in wrestling culture. She called out the common sense rule that you don’t steal another wrestler’s finisher—unless it’s gifted.

“You can’t go in there and do an RKO. It’s Randy Orton’s, right? I can’t go in there and do like an F5 or freaking Go To Sleep or anything like that because that’s someone’s finisher that they’ve had for many years.”

One move she considered bringing back is the tarantula, a signature rope submission made famous by Tajiri—and later used by Tenille Dashwood (Emma). But Saraya said she ultimately stepped back out of respect:

“I used to do it, but then Emma was doing it in her movie set and I couldn’t do it. I used to do it on the indies… It’s a good move, but in my good conscience I couldn’t do it because that was Emma’s deb thing.”

While nothing is confirmed yet, the signs are there—Saraya’s been in the ring, tweaking her move list, and prioritizing fitness again. If a comeback happens, expect her to be sharper, smarter, and completely reimagined from her last run. Saraya’s honesty about her mistakes, growth, and goals feels like the real story here—not just a wrestling return, but a life reboot.
