I never got anything negative from it, but it was just shocking.” (H/T- Wrestling INC)
The AEW star revealed that WWE Hall of Famer Road Dogg broke the news to her that the company was cutting her short and now she didn’t have to come to work the next day. She described that she loves Road Dogg and he always pampered her like a child and when he said that She didn’t have to come to work she was shocked.
But she later revealed that Dogg then asked her to come to the show to deliver a final goodbye speech as the GM. In the later part of the interview Saraya further revealed that she tried to pitch different ideas to the executives so that she could be merged into the programming again but all her efforts went in vain.
She said that she ended up sitting at home for 4 years and that was the most depressing part. She also revealed that she felt “completely useless” during that period as she was bound by a contract which didn’t allow her to do anything and if she wanted as well she would have to take the permission which would be declined as well.
