More information on what’s next for Mariah May has been provided, including when the former AEW Women’s Champion let it be known that she was not intending on staying with the company.
May has been in the headlines over the past few days as it was reported that the AEW star is set to leave the promotion when her contract expires and become the latest name to join WWE. The former Women’s Champion has not been seen since her loss to Toni Storm in the Hollywood Ending match at Revolution and was notably absent when the line-up was announced for the 2025 Owen Hart Foundation Tournament.
As reported by Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, May stated around Revolution time that she would not be signing a new deal, which is why the rivalry with Storm was brought to a sudden conclusion:
“May hasn’t been on television since the Revolution PPV which was the blow-off of her feud with Toni Storm. I noted many times that I was surprised at doing that match at that time because it was such a hot feud and didn’t need a final blow-off after just three matches. Apparently May made it clear at that time that she was not signing a new deal and so they booked it at that time for that reason.”
Also in the Newsletter, it was noted that May has been discussed in WWE, with it being known that the British wrestler wants to sign with the promotion:
“We can’t confirm the time frame but can confirm that there has been talk in WWE regarding her coming in with it being known by key people in WWE the belief that she wants to come in.”
