WWE star once gave Saraya ‘the silent treatment’: ‘He was f**king pi**ed’
Saraya was once given a ‘silent treatment’ by WWE star Titus O’Neil following this incident.
Back during her time in WWE, Saraya, then known as Paige, was one of the top rising stars in the promotion. However, she once got into trouble with Titus O’Neil and Vince McMahon for one of her pranks. Recently, appearing on Daria & Toni Unwrapped, Saraya recalled the incident.
“First of all, they couldn’t prank me whatsoever. They could not prank me for the whole season till the very end. But they were like, ‘Let’s give Paige a cattle prod.’”
The incident occurred during a backstage segment for the spinoff of the Jackass film series, which also featured the movie’s creator, Jeff Tremaine. The crew gave the former Paige a cattle prod, which she decided to use on pranking others. However, the former Divas Champion never realized that Titus O’Neil was on the “no prank” list.
“So, I have a cattle prod in my hand. I’m running around, zapping people. I didn’t realize there was a ‘No prank’ list. I run up to Titus [O’Neal] and I’m like, BOOM! And he was so f**king pi**ed.”
However, things did not stop there, as O’Neil proceeded to complain about the incident to Vince McMahon and give the rising star a ‘silent treatment’.
“He goes to Vince’s office and says, ‘Saraya f**king zapped me.’ Vince brings me in, he was laughing about it, actually. You know how he is a prankster. But he was like, ‘Saraya, please stop zapping people with the cattle prod.’ Titus was mad at me for like, a week or so. He gave me the silent treatment. But after a while, we spoke again.”
A part of WWE from 2011 to 2022, she parted ways with the Stamford-based promotion to join AEW. However, earlier this year, she officially left All Elite Wrestling.
Saraya shares potential in-ring update
Recently speaking with the Toronto Sun, Saraya shared a major update on her much-awaited in-ring return.
“I’ve found this new passion for it again. I’m going to get into training in January, and we’ll see where that takes me. Because I feel like I do — if I was to ever come back, not saying I am, but if I was to ever come back, I want to be at the top of my game and be wrestling better than I was wrestling back when I was in NXT. So that’s my goal.”
