Wrestling fans on Twitter have reacted to Saraya seemingly being cleared to compete in AEW.

According to a recent report from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, AEW Dr. Michael Sampson has officially cleared the former Paige to wrestle again. Reacting to the development, some fans expressed their concern for the star and hinted that this might not be the best of decisions considering AEW's booking patterns.
Check out the Twitter reactions:
@shaysinferno @WrestlePurists What's that ? A light's out exploding barbed wire deathmatch ? YOU GOT IT !
@ephraimmode @WrestlePurists Michael Sampson and Tony Khan.
@WrestlePurists Atleast we got a name to blame if something happened
@WrestlePurists A Lights Out match vs Tay Conti for the debut?
@WrestlePurists This feels very rushed and irresponsible
@WrestlePurists her neck when itโs time to take a german suplex: https://t.co/a6pjWHNZkW
@WrestlePurists WWE cleared Bryan and Edge, and they didn't even try with her....
And with how people work over there? I really hope nothing goes wrong.
Really hoping she was cleared for the right reasons I just don't trust it seems too convenient but if I'm wrong I'm very Happy for @Saraya I'm juet really worried. twitter.com/WrestlePuristsโฆ
The amount of people praying that Saraya gets hurt because they want AEW to be embarrassed is frightening and sad. Yโall need therapy.
Yes @Saraya So happy for you โฆyou deserve this ๐๐ฅ๐๐ฅ๐๐ฅ๐๐ฅ twitter.com/wrestlepuristsโฆ
On this week's Dynamite, Saraya got involved in a physical altercation for the first time in years. After a six-woman tag team match, she brawled with the heels and also landed a kick on Rebel.
Wrestling veteran SoCal Val thinks that Saraya shouldn't return to the ring anytime soon
TNA veteran SoCal Val believes Saraya shouldn't wrestle anytime soon in AEW. Speaking on GAWTV, Val claimed that the former WWE star should return to the ring only if she thinks it's necessary.
The 36-year-old further added that AEW shouldn't rush the former NXT Women's Champion in-ring comeback. She said:
"So, for her own healthโs sake, I hope she only does it if itโs definitely something that she should be doing. And sheโs very smart. They would never rush her into doing it and she would never rush into doing it. But I wouldnโt want to see it unless itโs 1000% safe for her."
It has been years since the former Paige retired from in-ring competition. Following her neck injury, she primarily worked as a manager/valet in WWE, appearing alongside Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville as part of the Absolution faction.
She was also the SmackDown general manager for a brief period and has already played a massive role in promoting the current AEW Women's Division.
