Former AEW star Saraya aka Paige made a public appearance on Saturday in Ontario, California. However, there was an incident with a fan that Saraya wrote about via Twitter/X…

“Crazy I have to say this but. If you come to my signings.. please don’t try to kiss me anywhere. Especially ON MY MOUTH. He wasn’t able to because I moved. But Jesus fucking Christ.”

In a video statement, Saraya noted that she was changing her policy with fan encounters…

“What’s up, you guys? Bear with me because I am driving home right now from my signing that I just did. And obviously, I tweeted out that a fan tried to kiss me during my signing, actually during my photo-ups, to be exact. And I just want to… Obviously, put it out there first. I’m okay. I’ve been getting a lot of text, tweets, calls, everything imaginable to make sure I’m good. I promise you I’m good. I’m good. I managed to get away, and he ended up leaving, so it’s good.

But I just want to put PSA out there. I am a hugger. I’ve always been a hugger when it comes to my fans. But going forward, I would love if we just stick to handshakes just to be safer and just to have a little bit of a boundary. But we shouldn’t have to worry about that stuff. So going forward, yeah, I just want to stick to that. And I just want to say thank you all for coming out, though. I really appreciate you. There was a bunch of you and you were all amazing. And it was just one bad day, and it is what it is.”

“But yeah, I just wanted to put it out there. Please don’t do that to us, you guys. Please, to any wrestling, not just females, any wrestling, do not try and kiss us. It’s not appropriate. It’s actually assault. So please don’t do that. We want to come out. We want to meet you. We want to say hi. We love to meet you guys. So yeah, just going forward, if we could just stick to handshakes. I’m sorry, everybody. I just felt a little uneasy afterwards. I just want to say thank you. First and foremost, make sure I’m okay and everything is fine and everyone that turned out. You guys are awesome. And I can’t wait to see you at the next signing. Just please don’t kiss me.”
