Former AEW Women’s World Champion Mariah May has been removed from AEW’s official roster page as of May 30, signaling her departure from the company. Her two-year contract ended recently, and sources like Pwinsider and Fightful Select confirmed she will be leaving AEW soon. Inside reports suggest Mariah was aware her contract was expiring and that there were no creative plans for her beyond her recent “Hollywood Ending” match against Toni Storm at the March Revolution pay-per-view. Despite being off the roster, she was said to still have some time left on her contract, but with no option for renewal, many were surprised given the company’s previous investment in her.
There is strong speculation that Mariah May will join WWE once her AEW contract officially expires. Both Pwinsider and Fightful Select report that WWE has shown strong interest, and many AEW insiders expect her to make the jump. WWE is reportedly eager to sign her, though no official contract has been announced yet. Mariah has also pursued representation for ventures outside wrestling, possibly indicating future projects in acting or other fields. Her departure leaves AEW without one of its decorated women’s wrestlers, having held the AEW Women’s World Title for 174 days and winning the prestigious Owen Hart Foundation Tournament in 2024, with many notable title defenses.
Fan Take: Mariah May’s exit marks a significant shift in AEW’s women’s division, creating both a void and an opportunity for fresh talent to rise. For AEW fans, this move underscores the competitive nature between major wrestling promotions and highlights the changing landscape of women’s wrestling in the sport.
