Saraya aka Paige has come a long way in her pro wrestling career as she went from being medically retired to the SmackDown GM to leaving WWE for AEW and returning to in-ring action in 2021.
Speaking with Alistair McGeorge of Metro, Shelton Benjamin recalled how he was supposed to be a security guard for Saraya in 2017, which would lead to a romantic relationship.
‘[A] pitch I had, I wanted to be – this is when I came back the second time. I think Paige [now Saraya in AEW] was the general manager for Smackdown. The idea was, I will start off as kind of her bodyguard, but I think it was it was going to turn romantic and that was all – they were all set to do that, and then it just didn’t happen.’
