Saraya shared details of an inappropriate fan encounter from a recent signing on the latest episode of her podcast.
On an episode of Rulebreakers published on Thursday, December 4, Saraya noted that at a recent signing in Chicago, a fan inappropriately touched her. Saraya and her guests were discussing Ariana Grande being recently accosted by a fan at the Wicked: For Good premiere when she said:
“Lately, I feel thereâ€s been an influx of certain fans feeling way too comfortable to be grabbing on females. Just this past weekend in Chicago, a fan decided he wanted to slap my ass three times in a row because he thought it was funny, and security didnâ€t do a f—king thing.â€
She said security later approached her and asked whether she wanted the person escorted out of the building.
She continued:
“They did give me a security guard in the end and he was great, which is fine, but the fans are getting way too comfortable. This is the second time this year a fan has touched me, tried to kiss me, and slap my ass.â€
She later added:
“Nine times out of 10, all the fans are great, but you always get at least one per signing that gets a little too comfortable, a little too handsy, or thinks they have this parasocial relationship with you. But I feel like itâ€s happening to everyone.â€
Several wrestlers have also complained about recent fan encounters in recent weeks, including Jey Uso, who recently asked fans not to touch or poke him in public.
Saraya parted ways with AEW in March and has not wrestled in 2025. She noted recently on her podcast that sheâ€s spent the past year exploring projects outside wrestling, but has started to miss it, though she didnâ€t confirm any plans to return.
Sarayaâ€s comments begin around the 43-minute and 42-second mark of the interview (video cued below):

Fulham vs Crystal Palace: Premier League preview
The Cottagers’ millstone is a sequence of four consecutive defeats either side of the October international break and an inability to win away from home.
Fortunately for manager Marco Silva, Fulham did put a win on the board in their most recent away fixture at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last weekend thanks to two goals in the first six minutes.
The goal rush continued on Tuesday, when four goals against Manchester City threatened to add up to one of the great Premier League comebacks.
Crystal Palace haven’t won at Craven Cottage since New Year’s Day in 2005, visiting seven times without a win in six attempts in the Premier League and one in the FA Cup.
Tickets
The Eagles will be the favourites on Sunday afternoon, though, and Oliver Glasner has them ticking along very nicely above 12th place so far this season.
They’ve only been beaten three times in the Premier League this season and Palace have been effective on the road, winning more often than not in their fixtures away from Selhurst Park.
Their away defeats came at Everton and Arsenal, while Aston Villa, West Ham United, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Burnley have all been beaten on their own turf.
Silva won’t have missed that all of the bottom three are present on that list. Fulham will believe they can upset the odds but, in truth, the odds aren’t as stacked against them as it might seem.

Brighton vs West Ham: Premier League preview
The Hammers appear to be slowly pulling themselves together but were dropped into the relegation zone by Leeds United’s win over Chelsea on Wednesday.
Despite that inconvenience, Nuno Espirito Santo is beginning to make his mark at the London Stadium. West Ham have lost just one of their last five matches in the Premier League, picking up eight points since the start of November.
Lucas Paqueta will return after serving a suspension against Man United while Nuno is waiting on the fitness of Crysencio Summerville with a view to a possible reintroduction after injury.
Nuno will be without on-loan Brighton defender Igor Julio, though the 27-year-old Brazilian has been used sparingly when eligible anyway.
It was a chastening home loss for Brighton against Villa but if Fabian Hurzeler could have hand-picked the next game, a home fixture against relegation-threatened opposition before the floodlights have even cooled down would have been near the top of his list.
The Seagulls’ home record still makes for impressive reading. With four wins, two draws and a loss, it’s been the bedrock of another push for Europe in the first half of the season. A defeat that might easily have been a draw shouldn’t derail that.
Brighton dropped from fifth to seventh in the table but they’re still two points off fourth and will fancy their chances of sneaking past Crystal Palace with a win on Sunday.

Ex-Warrior Jamal Crawford details Steph Curry’s work ethic with classic story originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
Stephen Curry is 37 years old and still playing like one of the NBAâ€s best. And according to Jamal Crawford, the reason behind Curryâ€s sustained greatness is simple: relentless discipline.
Advertisement
During an appearance on “Dubs Talk†with NBC Sports Bay Areaâ€s Bonta Hill and Monte Poole, Crawford didnâ€t hesitate when asked what keeps a guard like Curry playing at a high level for so long.
“Doing exactly what heâ€s doing,†Crawford said. “Shape has no age.â€
Crawford knows that better than most. The former guard played in the NBA until he was 42, suiting up for nine teams — including the Warriors during the 2008-09 season — and becoming one of the most respected veterans in the league. He won three Sixth Man of the Year awards, made his name as a legendary ballhandler and, in 2019, became the oldest player in NBA history to score 50-plus points in a game when he dropped 51 for the Phoenix Suns at age 39.
So, when he looks at Curry, he recognizes the work behind the results.

Crawford recalled last yearâ€s NBA All-Star Game, when most players had long hit recovery mode. But not Steph.
“Steph went and did a weight-room workout after an All-Star Game,†Crawford explained. “That kind of consistency, that kind of discipline, is why he is who he is.â€
Now in his 17th NBA season after being drafted No. 7 overall in 2009, Curry continues to set the standard for veterans who refuse to slow down.
But Crawford said playing deep into your career isnâ€t luck — itâ€s commitment.
“Itâ€s a lifestyle change,†Crawford noted. “You start changing your diet, you start stretching, even if youâ€re sore, you start foam rolling — ice tub. But you get in a routine.â€
Advertisement
Thatâ€s why watching Curry continue to evolve and dominate year after year doesnâ€t surprise him.
“Iâ€m sure Steph has his routine,†Crawford said. “He has the best team around him. And heâ€s very intentional … Not a lot of wasted motion. He knows how to scale it back, when to ramp it up. Heâ€s in tune and the ultimate professional.â€
Coming from someone who defied time for two decades, thatâ€s as high a compliment as Curry can get.
According to Wrestling Observer Radio, the agreement between TNA and AMC is set for three years, locking in Thursday Night iMPACT on both AMCâ€s cable network and AMC+ streaming service through early 2029. The deal kicks off with a live episode on January 15, 2026, from the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland, Texas.
Sources believe the agreement includes a live broadcast quota, requiring TNA to air a yet-unspecified number of iMPACT episodes live each year. While the exact figure hasnâ€t been confirmed, Dave Meltzer noted, “The television show will air in real-time a lot.â€
Following the live AMC debut, tapings for upcoming episodes will take place January 22 and 23 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, while TNA Genesis 2026, the companyâ€s first pay-per-view of the new year, will broadcast live on January 17 from Garland.
Though AMC and AMC+ become the official broadcast partners, fans will still be able to stream Thursday Night iMPACT on TNA+, keeping the promotionâ€s digital platform in play for on-demand viewers. TNA President Carlos Silva framed the deal as a breakthrough moment for the brand:
“We had a record-breaking 2025, and now weâ€re set to deliver even more to our fans.â€
While TNA has aired on several cable networks over the years—including Spike TV and AXS TV—this marks its first move to a mainstream entertainment brand like AMC, offering a broader reach and bigger promotional muscle.
With multi-year security, a live-event structure, and AMCâ€s platform behind them, TNA appears ready to scale its brand in 2026 and beyond.
Whatâ€s your reaction to the deal between TNA and AMC? Please share your thoughts and feedback in the comment section below.

TNA Wrestling’s journey to land a new domestic television home has finally reached its end, with AMC being the official destination for its flagship show, “Thursday Night iMPACT,” starting January 15, 2026. Through this multi-year media rights agreement between TNA and AMC Networks, “Thursday Night iMPACT” will move into the 9-11pm ET time slot on Thursday nights for viewers in the United States. Fans also have the option to stream the show on the network’s streaming service, AMC+.
According to Fightful Select, TNA representatives indicated that WWE aided their promotion in securing the television deal with AMC. And despite rumors that WWE and TNA were terminating their respective multi-year partnership afterward, TNA officials have “vehemently denied” that to be the case. The latter was corroborated in similar reports from PWInsider and Sports Illustrated earlier in the day.
Regarding the timeline of the media rights agreement, Fightful reports that the process to lock it in began in the spring of 2025. Only a small number of people were said to be aware of the finer details surrounding it, though TNA staff and talent were briefed on the development ahead of the official announcement, which came on Tuesday morning.
Just last month, word emerged that AMC, known for television such as “Breaking Bad” and “The Walking Dead,” had been pursuing the media rights to TNA. Prior to that, platforms such as The CW and A&E — both of which are affiliated with WWE content — had surfaced as potential landing spots as well.
Reactions from TNA talent and staff

Robert Okine/Getty Images
Behind the scenes, TNA staff and talent reportedly expressed widespread excitement and positivity, with a shared hope for their creative storylines to also be elevated as the company moves to a bigger platform.
Many TNA roster members voiced their delight on social media as well. TNA World Champion Frankie Kazarian particularly sees the television deal as a signal that a new era is beginning. “As the @ThisIsTNA Champion, the #KingofTNA and a TNA original, it’s truly an honor to help lead this company into a new era on the great @AMC_TV,” he wrote on X. “So much hard work and effort, that most will never know about, has gone in to this. It all begins on 1-15-26.”
Fellow TNA veteran Eddie Edwards paralleled Kazarian’s sentiments, writing “The new journey begins. January 15th 9pm. We aren’t turning the page. We are opening a whole new book.”
The AMC debut of “Thursday Night iMPACT” will be live from the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland, Texas on January 15, though subsequent episodes are expected to be a mix of live and pre-taped. Fightful reports that those in TNA believe there is a specified amount of television shows that the company is required to broadcast live.
Following the first live edition of “Thursday Night iMPACT” in 2026, TNA will hold television tapings for future episodes in Albuquerque, New Mexico on January 22 and 23. This location is notable due to it previously serving as the filming homes to AMC’s “Breaking Bad” and “Better Call Saul.”

Tottenham Hotspur vs Fulham: Premier League preview
It’s threatening to become a frustrating season for Spurs, who won five of their first seven fixtures in all competitions but have struggled to maintain that pace.
Thomas Frank’s team haven’t won a Premier League match since the end of October and their last league win at home was, remarkably, in their first game of the season against relegation-threatened Burnley.
Since then, AFC Bournemouth, Aston Villa and Chelsea have all won at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Spurs also failed to beat Wolverhampton Wanderers and Manchester United.
It’s no wonder there’s growing dissent among the home support in north London and last weekend’s derby defeat up the road at Arsenal won’t have done anything to ease the tension.
Tickets
Fulham can embrace a more positive outlook in the very short-term thanks to two wins in three in the Premier League but Silva will be cognisant of the fact that it’s also two wins in seven and the others were all defeats.
Their stability is the result of recent wins at home but Fulham are yet to win a league fixture away from Craven Cottage this season and that’s a worry. Five defeats out of six merely reinforces the point.
Indeed, Fulham are second-from-bottom in the Premier League away table with as many points as Wolves, whose single draw of the season on the road was at Spurs.
Spurs have a draw and a win from their last two home games against Fulham. Another three points would go some way to settling the nerves around his appointment and progress.

Earlier this week, AAA announced that it struck a broadcasting deal that will bring its content to FOX platforms in Mexico, Central America, and South America (excluding Brazil). According to journalist Dave Meltzer, executives hope this is just the start of AAA expanding its reach as a broadcasting deal in the United States is said to be a foremost goal.
“The purchase of AAA [by WWE] was not necessarily for the Mexico market, but to get it on in the United States market,” Meltzer said on “Wrestling Observer Radio.” “So the key is the negotiations in the US, because that’s where you can make money, hopefully both make money and be on a platform that people actually watch. Right now, it’s YouTube, which is a platform people watch, but it’s not really a big money making platform. So that would obviously be the major goal for AAA is to get it on US television or a major streaming service like Peacock or something.”
WWE acquired AAA, a leading Mexican lucha libre promotion, back in April 2025, with several crossover events and matches coming in the months following. Most recently, WWE aired AAA’s November 22 event, emanating from Mexico City, on the official WWE YouTube channel. This show included a successful AAA World Mixed Tag Team Championship defense from WWE’s Chelsea Green and Ethan Page.
As of now, a deal to broadcast AAA content on USA television has yet to be inked, though Meltzer believes that will change in the near future. “I have been given the impression that they expect that there will be such a deal somewhere fairly soon in the US market,” he said, “but that would be the more significant deal than this deal that was just announced.”
