Saraya (fka Paige) says WWE 'dropped the ball big time' with her real-life brother
Saraya (fka Paige) recently voiced her disappointment with WWE's handling of her brother Zac Zodiac's story, missing out on an opportunity with him.
She expressed her desire to see her brother's journey showcased, especially considering the success of the movie Fighting With My Family, which focused on her own life. She believes the Stamford-based promotion missed a golden opportunity by not fully utilizing their family's narrative.
Speaking on an interview with the Mark Hoke Show, Saraya expressed her brother's story is an even more compelling underdog tale, and WWE dropped the ball big time on him:
"He never got the opportunity in WWE. They never gave him the time of day. He did all these tryouts and they never [gave him a shot]. After the movie, I feel like they dropped the ball big time with him. That could have been the ultimate underdog story right there. Years and years spent trying to make it," Saraya said.

While Fighting With My Family sheds light on their family's wrestling journey, Saraya hopes that her brother will one day get the recognition and platform he deserves, allowing his remarkable underdog story to inspire and captivate audiences.
