WWE Know Mariah May Wants To Make Huge Switch

Mariah May’s future in AEW looks increasingly shaky and it seems the former AEW Women’s Champion is eyeing up a huge switch to WWE.

At Revolution, Mariah May lost a bloody battle to long-time rival “Timeless” Toni Storm for the AEW Women’s Title. The “Hollywood Ending” capped off a storyline that began when May signed with the company back in November 2023. The British star initially served as Storm’s protégé, but the following May, she turned heel and attacked Storm after winning the Owen Hart Cup.

Mariah May then went on to beat Storm for the AEW Women’s Title at All In, before losing it back to her great rival at Grand Slam Australia in February 2025. But despite the storyline being met with great acclaim, May has been missing ever since she lost her title.

As reported via Fightful Select, many within AEW believe May’s contract is set to expire “in the summer.” While it’s unknown whether any option years are attached to her deal, one source noted they would be incredibly surprised if there aren’t as it’s unlikely May would be pushed so hard while on such a short contract.

But it seems that may have been the case.

Mariah May WWE Bound?

Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer discussed May’s situation and it seems WWE knows she wants to leave AEW:

I know from people in WWE, they know she wants to go there. I don’t know when her contract is up, everyone seems to think it’s in the summer.

Bryan Alvarez added that “there is a belief in AEW that she’s headed to WWE.”

Mariah May put her own cryptic spin on her future, which now looks increasingly likely to lie away from Tony Khan’s company.
