Saraya Explains Why She Wasn’t in the 2026 Royal Rumble

TLDR

Saraya addressed why she wasn't in the 2026 Royal Rumble during a recent appearance on Wrestling With Freddie, explaining that the decision wasn't hers to make and that "WWE has to make that decision." She expressed surprise at the massive fan support calling for her return, with her training videos generating 18 million views across platforms, and admitted she cried because she "can't believe people still love me" despite past controversies. While confirming she wished she could have been in the Rumble and is currently training again, Saraya acknowledged that fan demand alone doesn't determine WWE's booking decisions.
