Saraya recently had a lot of her ring gear stolen

While the AEW Women's World Champion has had a very memorable few weeks in All Elite Wrestling, not all of it has been good, especially out of the ring.

The former WWE Superstar recently took to Twitter to announce that most of her wrestling gear had been stolen. It included her outfit for All In 2023, her return attire from 2022, and some items she had owned for ten years.

Fans started helping out the AEW Women's World Champion by showing her that people were selling her gear on Facebook and that they obtained the items from her abandoned storage unit. However, Fightful Select reported that this was a separate issue and that her gear went missing at an AEW venue.
