Saraya Says Alicia Fox Was Extremely Underrated – Saraya has wrestled a ton of top talent in her career, but there is one person she feels never got the respect they deserved.
The AEW star spoke about this topic during an interview with Superstar Crossover, where she explained why former WWE Divas Champion Alicia Fox flew under people’s radar.
The Outcasts member begins by saying that Fox’s offense always looked crisp, and that all of her matches stood out.
So I actually posted this recently, but like, I feel like Alicia Fox didn’t get her flowers for the longest time. Because if you look back at her stuff, it’s everything looks aggressive, but she’s safe. All her matches were good. You have to watch them back. Because every time I wrestled her, I felt really, really safe.
Saraya adds that Fox coming up in the Divas era is really what hindered her.
So I felt like she was very underrated. Also, she was in the Divas era. So if people didn’t give her the chance, and just thought, ‘No, she’s a diva, she could possibly be a good wrestler,’ but no, she was a great wrestler.
Elsewhere in the interview, Saraya spoke about the growing AEW women’s division, and why she is confident that it is moving in the right direction.
I’m trying to see if I felt like a lot of women at AEW do get their flowers. There’s a lot of incredible wrestlers. You have Willow. I feel like Skye Blue is gonna be the next big thing, too. She’s growing and evolving, although we have to calm her down with wanting to take so many bumps where me and Ruby are just like, ‘chill sister.’
Staying on the subject, Saraya calls the entire women’s roster awesome and hopes that they continue to get their chance to showcases themselves on television.
So I feel like a lot of the women in AEW get a chance to be showcased and they’re all awesome. I’m happy that Taya’s there now, Taya Valkyrie. Very happy she’s there. I love Jade as a character. She’s incredible as a character, and she’s constantly training every week to be better, too, which I really appreciate.
