The 31-year-old star emerged victorious in a four-way match at Wembley Stadium. As expected, her win was very well-received by the fans. In addition, WWE stars broke barriers and congratulated Saraya on her epic victory.

It was interesting to see the dissension between Saraya and her “Outcast” stablemate, Toni Storm. Ultimately, Saraya hit the Knight Light on Toni Storm to become the new AEW Women’s World Champion. This may change the relationship between the two Outcasts members.
Furthermore, Saraya’s win was special because she dethroned Hikaru Shida, who has arguably had the best women’s championship reign in AEW history. Shida held the longest reign as Champion in the women’s division.
Nonetheless, Saraya has a new target on her back after All In. Amidst all the celebration, Saraya’s WWE family reached out to her on Instagram to send her congratulatory messages.

The last time Saraya held the Women’s World Title was in 2014. She defeated her long-time rival, AJ Lee, to begin her second reign as the Divas Champion. After that, she remained sidelined for most of her career due to a debilitating injury.
But the fact that the AEW star defied all odds and became the new AEW Women’s Champion is commendable. Here are some of the reactions from the WWE stars:

WWE Hall of Famer Edge liked the AEW star’s post. Natalya commented, “Yay!!!!!!!!!!” with a heart emoji.
Rene Paquette commented, “Yes she is” with clapping hands emoji.
While Natalya is still a WWE star, Rene turned All Elite in 2022. However, she has known Saraya since her WWE days.

All in all, current WWE stars and former WWE stars are delighted for Saraya. We will have to wait and see what’s next for the reigning champ. Off-topic, Saraya expressed her interest in facing Mercedes Mone, who was also in attendance at All In.
