Tony Khan, Dustin Rhodes, more comment on AEW signing Hyan & Maya World
Tony Khan and several other names associated with AEW have commented on the company’s recent signings of Hyan & Maya World.
Khan announced Hyan & World’s signing following their loss to the Sisters of Sin, Julia Hart and Skye Blue, on the AEW Worlds End Zero Hour show. He addressed their signing again at the post-event press conference.
Khan said:
“I think they’ve been doing a fantastic job.”
“Hyan and Maya World came in, they’ve delivered time after time. They’ve been putting on great matches. They’ve been getting more and more competitive.”
“Everybody in the locker room really respects them. They bring something great to the roster. We’ve been having great women’s tag team matches and having more and more strong wrestlers on the roster for singles and tag teams, because they are both great individual wrestlers too.”
“Every experience I’ve had with both of them individually and as a team has been positive. They had another great match on the Zero Hour.”
Dustin Rhodes also posted about their signing, writing:
“Super proud of Hyan and Maya!!! Welcome to the team!!! LFG!!!!! #AEW”
Several wrestlers also commented on AEW’s Instagram post announcing World and Hyan’s signing.

The two have gone 0-4 in tag matches for the promotion, dating back to their loss to Anna Jay and Tay Melo on the November 8 Collision taping. Individually, they’ve each wrestled a handful of times for AEW in the past, with Hyan having once challenged for the ROH Women’s World title against Mercedes Martinez on an episode of Dark: Elevation. Maya World was beaten by Megan Bayne on an episode of Dynamite in February and also lost to Thunder Rosa on Collision in July 2024.
