Mariah May Names Storyline That Was Great For AEW Women’s Division
Mariah May believes a controversial storyline involving Mina Shirakawa and Toni Storm had a positive impact on AEW.
May currently sits atop the AEW mountain having captured the AEW Women’s World Championship from ‘Timeless’ Toni Storm at All In on 25th August in front of over 50,000 fans at London’s Wembley Stadium.
Speaking during a recent appearance on ‘Niko Exxtra’, the British star shared her belief that the 2024 love triangle involving herself, Toni Storm and Mina Shirakawa was good for the AEW women’s division whilst taking time to praise Tony Khan was his willingness to work with other promotions:
“We work with so many different places, and STARDOM was my family for a year, that’s my home, so any time any of those girls come over, I’m like, damn, I want to get my hands on them and get in the ring with them again. I think that’s why Tony Khan is so great and AEW is so great because they let you do that.
In turn, I think everyone wins. If you think about myself and Mina [Shirakawa] and Toni [Storm], that kind of just happened because I happened to tag with Mina and we had the STARDOM show, and it all kind of fell into place, and they wrestled at Forbidden Door and I think that storyline was another one that people kind of loved, and it was great for the women’s division.
Then Mina kind of came back for me, and we had that story too, and I don’t think any of those stories are finished, either. So I think that’s why AEW is so different and why I love working here is because anything can happen, which I think is exciting.”
