Former AEW Women’s World Champion Mariah May has spoken out for the first time following her WWE NXT debut on the June 3rd episode. Shortly after her AEW contract ended, she officially left the promotion and appeared on NXT, addressing the women’s division present in the ring and ringside from the Performance Center platform.
Mariah declared, “I’ve finally arrived, and women, you can call me the next NXT Women’s Champion,” adding, “Because the best women’s division in the world just got even more exciting.” After the show, WWE shared a video with more of her comments, where she said, “It’s about time. I’ve wrestled all over the world, and it’s fitting that charm reaches NXT.” She also tweeted, “Honey, I’m @WWE @WWENXT,” confirming her move.
May hadn’t been seen on AEW TV since early March, following her loss at the Revolution Pay-per-view. Now that she has signed with WWE, fans can expect potential updates to her character or name.
Fan Take: Mariah May’s transition from AEW to WWE NXT is a significant shakeup that could influence the women’s wrestling scene by introducing new competition and fresh storylines. For AEW fans, it’s a reminder of the ever-evolving nature of pro wrestling and the constant battle for talent that shapes the sport’s future.
