A Throwback Thursday elicited a healthful social media encounter this week.
Before she blossomed into “The Anti-Diva” in WWE, Saraya ruled the independent wrestling scene along with her side swept bangs and thick eyeliner as “Emo Raya,” as she described it on X on Thursday. In line with Priscilla Kelly (formerly often known as Gigi Dolin in WWE), it was this exact look that originally drew her to Saraya, before she even stepped into the ring herself.
“FYI. Before I began training to wrestle around 15 ish I watched matches of you on this era since you were the one girl that looked like me on the time (I used to be a full blown scene kid),” Kelly wrote in response to Saraya’s pair of throwback photos. Much like Saraya, Kelly has long donned dark eye looks when wrestling. As a “scene kid,” though, Kelly’s hair has often stood out for its brilliant colours, reminiscent of orange and red, quite than her bangs.
No matter their slight physical differences, Saraya was evidently touched by Kelly’s statement as she wrote “Awww sister. love you!!” alongside a black heart emoji.
Awww sister 😩😩 love you!! 🥹🖤 https://t.co/GsyE49q9SU

Currently, Kelly is within the midst of her independent wrestling return, which got here after her 2025 release from WWE. A recent string of matches led her back to Game Changer Wrestling, where she notably challenged Atticus Cogar for the GCW World Championship. Meanwhile, Saraya has resumed in-ring training with the aim of creating a possible comeback. Kelly and Saraya have yet to share a hoop together in any capability.
