It is widely speculated that Mariah May is in the last year of her contractual relationship with AEW, generating considerable attention from numerous wrestling promotions. Reports suggest her contract might come to an end later this summer.
Those circling May’s inner circle believe she is eyeing WWE as her next stop, and even a few individuals within AEW anticipate her making that move. However, according to insider news from Fightful, May is tactfully employing this circumstance to fortify her bargaining stance.
While AEW is understood to want her to stay, oddly, she has not made appearances at any events since Revolution 2025. Countering false narratives, no evidence suggests May having signed with WWE or her name featuring on their internal lists.
Interestingly, while Jeff Cobb showed up on an internal WWE roster without a contract, May’s AEW contract still has several months to go. The brief duration of her AEW contract has taken many by surprise.
May or her spokespersons have yet to publically address these speculations. An intriguing point to consider is that although AEW officially roped in May in August 2023, her debut didn’t take place until later that year.
