Saraya's AEW debut at "Grand Slam" on Wednesday and the rapturous response she received from the audience at Arthur Ashe Stadium in Queens, N.Y., prompted WWE Hall of Famer Booker T to recall fond memories of working with her in WWE when she was known as Paige.
On his "Hall of Fame" podcast, Booker spoke about the jubilation from the AEW audience and Saraya's joy at being welcomed back after not having wrestled since 2017 due to a neck injury.
"That smile was just radiating through the arena," Booker said about Saraya.
