Saraya Describes Being Pulled Into the Dark

Saraya shared that the incident happened when she stepped backstage to get a glimpse of the crowd. As she walked down a dark hallway, something unexpected happened.

“Like, it was at a wrestling show. And I went out to peek at the crowd, and you know, like most live events, it’s just like pipe and drape, you know, so you can peep through. Like, it was really dark. I went down the little hallway, and it was really dark. Really dark. And I peeped through, and then all of a sudden I feel someone’s hand come over my mouth—no f**** way—and grab me and drag me into the dark. And I’m just like—and I just start freaking out and freaking out. And then he like lets me go, and there’s like this light, and then he was like, ‘It’s just me. I’m just joking, you know,” said Saraya.

The person behind the act turned out to be someone she knew from WWE. He tried to play it off as a joke, but Saraya wasn’t having it. She simply said, “That’s not funny.”

For Saraya, the experience brought forward bigger questions about the environment backstage, especially for female wrestlers. She said this kind of behavior isn’t rare—and that changes need to happen to make wrestling safer for everyone.

She believes WWE must take serious steps to improve how things are handled behind the scenes. The current system, she feels, doesn’t protect women enough.

Saraya’s message is clear: what happened shouldn’t be brushed aside, and it reflects a deeper problem in the industry.
