Saraya enjoys being the bad guy.
During a recent Metro interview promoting tonight’s AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam show at Arthur Ashe Stadium in Queens, New York, the AEW Women’s Champion spoke about how she has enjoyed being a heel in AEW.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview where she touches on these topics with her thoughts.
On how she likes playing the heel role in AEW: “I always wanted to be a heel, even before [AEW] knew I was gonna be wrestling again. I always wanted to be a bad guy. Because I already knew it wasn’t going to be long until they turned on me. I knew that. I said that – having conversations before I came to AEW, I was speaking to Jon Moxley, I was speaking to [Chris] Jericho, I was speaking to Tony Khan. They were all telling me, ‘You’re gonna be a babyface first because people are just gonna be happy to see you.’ It was really frustrating,” she admitted. “What I kept doing is I kept throwing in heelish things in promos or how I acted, things like that. I wanted that slow burn anyway and then eventually I was gonna get the opportunity to turn heel – I just had to wait a little bit. It worked out!”
On Twitter (X) trolls and how Wrestling Twitter in general is pretty soft: “Wrestling twitter is so soft. It’s because it’s a bunch of misogynistic neck beards or stan accounts who can’t tell a wrist lock from a pad lock. But they follow everything I do. Watch my tweets. Search my name. Keep me trending. That’s showbiz baby!”
