The tenure of Mariah May in AEW looks to be a brief one as WWE appears to be in her future according to both Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez on Wrestling Observer Radio, seen below.
Last month, it was reported that May was believed to be in her contract year with AEW and the former AEW Women’s World Champion has been off TV completely since March’s Revolution when she lost in her trilogy bout with reigning titleholder Toni Storm.
After May posted an Instagram story with a plane window this weekend with a quote saying, “You can’t make the wrong decision because every decision leads you to where you’re supposed to be,” speculation increased as to what that meant.
Meltzer said from talking to people in WWE, “they know she wants to go there” and that the belief is the 26-year-old’s contract is up this summer. Alvarez said he was under the impression that she initially signed a two-year deal with AEW and that even within AEW, they feel she is going to WWE.
After a run in Stardom, May made her on-screen debut on a November 2023 edition of Dynamite and was immediately aligned with Storm. Their alliance and eventual feud was one of the more notable feuds in company history. May defeated Storm for the title at All In London in August 2023 and held the title for 174 days before dropping it to Storm at February’s Grand Slam Australia.
