Saraya returned to the ring after five years at AEW Full Gear, facing one of the promotion's top wrestlers, Dr. Britt Baker. In a recent interview, she shared the difficulties she faced during her first match at the event.
After debuting in AEW in September 2022, Saraya faced uncertainty regarding her ability to compete again. On November 9 episode of Dynamite, the former Divas Champion shared that she was cleared to wrestle, which led to AEW officially announcing her match against Baker at Full Gear.
The match was highly anticipated due to Saraya's return to the ring after five years, her last match being in December 2017. She was not given medical clearance by WWE due to her neck surgery and was forced to retire the same year.
On the Whoo's House podcast, Saraya talked about how she struggled to catch her breath after returning to the ring.
“My head was down the whole time I got back. This producer is like, ‘Why was your head down the whole time?’ And I was like, ‘I was blowing the f*** up. I could not breathe. I was like, ‘I cannot breathe. I can’t remember anything. What is happening? Why am I here? Afterwards, I was like, ‘okay, thank God I got through that.’ But I was winded," said Saraya.
