Just one day after surprising fans with her return to the independent wrestling scene at Insane Wrestling Revolution, Saraya took a moment to look back on a career-defining moment—and remind everyone just how far she’s come.
On December 28, 2025, Saraya took to Twitter to mark the eighth anniversary of the serious neck injury she suffered during a WWE house show in Uniondale, New York. The injury at the time was so severe that many believed it had ended her in-ring career for good.
“8 years yesterday from when I thought my career was over during a Uniondale house show. What a ride it’s been since. Grateful for my health, family, friends and fans. You truly keep me going! My noodle neck is as strong as ever haha”
“Can’t wait for what 2026 has in store ❤️⚡️”
The tweet landed just 24 hours after Saraya surprised fans at IWR on December 27 with an unannounced appearance that saw her deliver a low blow to Pierre Gerin and book a tag match in the main event. She later teased that it might not be a one-time return to indie wrestling.
The timing of both posts—one celebrating her resilience, the other her rediscovered passion—paints the picture of a star who may be gearing up for a new chapter. After a decade away from indie rings and an emotional journey back to physical health, Saraya seems more confident and recharged than ever.
Will 2026 see Saraya launch a full-blown indie run—or something even bigger? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
