In a move that may signal a shift in her professional trajectory, All Elite Wrestling (AEW) star Saraya has filed for a trademark for her name, sparking speculation about her future plans beyond the wrestling ring.
Known to fans as Paige during her time in WWE, Saraya has been a prominent figure in AEW, holding the title of Women’s World Champion. However, she has been absent from recent television appearances, leaving many to wonder about her future in the sport.
Interestingly, Saraya’s trademark filing goes beyond her wrestling persona, covering a range of categories that hint at ambitions in television production. The filing mentions science fiction, spy, and thriller genres, which could indicate a desire to explore other creative avenues. This move echoes the approach of fellow AEW star Chris Jericho, who regularly files trademarks for his various character iterations.
The 31-year-old wrestler’s recent in-ring absence has been noticeable, with fans expressing disappointment at her lack of wrestling appearances.
Her last storyline, which involved her teammate Ruby Soho and Soho’s real-life partner, ‘Cool Hand’ Angelo Parker, came to an abrupt end when Soho walked out on Saraya during a tag team match. Since then, Saraya has not competed, leading to speculation about her future in the sport.
In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Saraya acknowledged her in-ring absence, stating that she hadn’t wrestled in a while.
Meanwhile, Ruby Soho has announced her pregnancy, which will likely take her off television for the foreseeable future.
The future of The Outcasts stable, which features Saraya, Soho, and other wrestlers, remains uncertain.
Saraya’s trademark filing may indicate a desire to diversify her career, exploring opportunities beyond the wrestling world. As AEW generally does not hold the rights to its wrestlers’ personas, this move could mark a significant turning point in her professional journey. Whether she will continue to dominate the wrestling scene or venture into new territories remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: Saraya is taking control of her brand and future.
