In a media scrum following the AEW Full Gear pay-per-view, Saraya discussed several topics, including how All Elite Wrestling’s medical team prepped her for her in-ring return against Britt Baker.
“I feel fantastic, Tony really takes care of us, down to a tee and he was like, I’m not going to let you get back in the ring until you’re 100 percent ready to go. We did MRI’s, CT scans, X-Rays and my neck was 100 percent ready to go.
Even I was shocked, I didn’t realize it would be 100 percent. With Tony, he’s very understanding when it comes to injuries and I said I want to take it slow coming back, I don’t want to rush back in like I did the last time, where it was a lot of work straight away and he was so understanding, I really appreciate him. I’m happy that I got to do this in AEW, I’ve been wanting to come here for a long time, and it felt very cool that I got to do that here today.
Before the match, they worked on my neck, heated it, put those electric pads on and then, they did all the pressure point stuff and they said, we’ll do this every single time you’re here, even when you’re not wrestling. After they checked on me to make sure that I was okay, they massaged it a little and made sure everything was good. Everyone is totally cautious, they want to be, I’m 100 percent fantastic and I feel good.”
