Former WWE NXT Champion Saraya reacts to the list of most harassed wrestlers online. The wrestler was placed in the top 5 of the list. Saraya, formerly known as Paige, called out the pro-wrestling community after the list was released. The study was conducted by Crypto Maniaks. As per the study, wrestlers faced the highest level of online abuse out of all the other sports.

Former WWE star Saraya makes it to top 5 alongside Charlotte Flair and Nia Jaxx

Saraya makes it to the top 5 of the list. However, it is to be noted that the first five wrestlers on the list are women. The list features the names of 15 wrestlers. Alongside Saraya, the other four wrestlers who topped the list are Charlotte Flair, Nia Jax, Mercedes Mone and Tegan Nox. Taking to X, Saraya called out the pro-wrestling community. She wrote, “IWC needs to reevaluate how they treat women in wrestling.”
Male wrestlers like CM Punk and Chris Jericho were also featured in the list. But it was mostly the female wrestlers who made it to the list. Saraya called out the pro-wrestling community on the hate being drawn by women in the sport. The behavior needs to be reevaluated. A few days back, Flair wrote a piece that went live on The Player’s Tribune. There, the wrestler talked about how much hate she received because of her plastic surgery.
While Flair handled the mean comments quite well, it doesn’t end the online hate there. With the list being out, only time will tell if the wrestling promotions will take any steps in this regard. The list was drafted based on the data collected from April 2024 to the end of April 2025.

Will Saraya return to WWE?

Saraya and WWE parted ways in 2022. The wrestler’s ring name was Paige. She joined the AEW in 2022 and then departed earlier this year. Saraya now considers herself a free agent. However, she has kept her doors open for a possible WWE return. The former champion has been under rumors of a possible appearance at Evolution 2025.
Speaking at Insight with Chris Van Vliet, she stated, “It’s like a bittersweet thing, because the first one, I couldn’t be on it because of my neck. So if I had the opportunity to be on this all-female pay-per-view, of course, yeah, I would think about it.” While nothing has been confirmed as of yet, fans can expect a surprise from the wrestler at Evolution 2025. The event has been scheduled for July 13, 2025.Also Read: “I’m actually banned...!”: Jake Paul makes a shocking revelation on his ban from WWE
