Saraya dropped a surprising confession during the latest episode of her Rulebreakers podcast when she was asked about her favorite Disney villain.
The former WWE and AEW Women’s Champion didn’t hesitate to name Scar from The Lion King, calling him her “sexual awakening.”
“Scar. He’s a baddie, dude. You know, Scar was like my sexual awakening. I was like, yeah, I would do that. Yeah. What a baddie he was, dude,” Saraya said, laughing.
When the host pressed further, asking, “What do you mean by Scar is your sexual awakening?” Saraya clarified, “That’s how I just knew I like bad boys. You know what I mean? Someone that’s really going to [__] me up. That’s my whole life right there.”
The admission came during the same podcast episode where Saraya discussed why she left Alberto Del Rio out of her new book, Hell In Boots. The two were engaged in 2016, but their relationship became marred by allegations of domestic violence, culminating in a 2017 incident at Orlando International Airport. Del Rio was arrested for domestic battery, but the charges were later dropped after Saraya chose not to press charges.
Saraya has since distanced herself from Del Rio, referring to him as “like Voldemort” and vowing to “never say his name again.” She said she chose not to include him in the book to keep the focus on her personal journey and not a toxic chapter in her life.
From a Disney villain to a real-life nightmare, Saraya is clearly determined to keep her focus forward. But with a second book possibly on the way, she’s leaving the door open to revisiting the parts of her story she left untold.
