Mariah Mei’s exit from AEW seems almost definite following the removal of her profile from the company’s official roster page. Nevertheless, her management has clarified that despite her absence from AEW programming, her contract remains valid until May 30, 2025.
Although AEW has taken her off their roster, her management stated in May through Fightful Select that her contract is still in effect. Meanwhile, reports from WWE insiders indicate that her transition to WWE is largely confirmed. WWE is reportedly planning for her to join the company in May once her AEW contract expires and has shown strong interest in signing her.
This update follows months of speculation about her future in AEW, especially after her loss to Tonistorm at the 2025 AEW Revolution event. Fans began noticing her dissatisfaction with AEW’s treatment during a trip to Chicago, which she expressed on a video blog for AEW Dynamite and Rampage, complaining about the accommodations. In the vlog, she remarked on the lack of notable views from her lodging, despite the city skyline. Her frustration was further evident when she responded to a fan’s tweet about the hotel situation with a brief, somewhat dismissive comment: “what’s new.”
Although her management insists her AEW contract remains active, the evidence of WWE preparing for her arrival suggests her time with AEW is nearing an end. WWE is eager to bring her on board as soon as her current deal concludes.
Fan Take: This development is big news for WWE fans as Mariah Mei’s addition could shake up the women’s division with fresh talent and storylines. It also highlights the competitive landscape between AEW and WWE, showing how crucial talent acquisitions are for the future of professional wrestling.
