Saraya comments on William Regal's exit from AEW.
William Regal is reportedly leaving AEW and going to back WWE. Regal's AEW contract reportedly expired in December. He joined the company at AEW Revolution on March 6.
Speaking to Alistair McGeorge of Metro, Saraya commented on Regal's reported departure.
"Everyone has an opinion on that. The reality is, it doesn’t have anything to do with anything backstage, it’s to do with how he feels. Us behind the scenes know why, and we’re happy for him! Whether he’s going there or whatever, it doesn’t matter. We’re just happy with whatever he wants to do with his life. He’s at the age where he can do whatever he wants to without the internet deep diving into it, or everyone saying this, that and the other about him. Who cares? Let him be happy!" she exclaimed.
Regal has not publicly commented on his reported AEW departure.
Saraya joined AEW at AEW Dynamite Grand Slam, making a surprise appearance at the event.
Asked what it's like to work with Tony Khan, Saraya said, "Tony’s so fantastic too. He lets people do – not do whatever they want, but he’s so open minded to how people think. If you’re having a bad day, he’ll be like, 'take a day off.' If you only want to do a certain amount of time on your contract, you can totally do that. He doesn’t have you locked in where you have to stay for this amount of time, he’s great. I’m very lucky to have the boss that I have."
Saraya made her in-ring return at AEW Full Gear, defeating Britt Baker. She had not wrestled since 2017 due to a neck injury.
Fightful will have live coverage of AEW Dynamite beginning at 8 p.m. ET.
