Mariah May removed from AEW roster page, still believed to be WWE-bound

The next step toward Mariah May departing AEW has taken place as she has been removed from the company’s roster page.

The news comes after mid-April reporting that May was believed to be in her contract year after she initially inked a two-year deal with no option year. It has yet to be reported when the exact contract expiration date is, but she would be a free agent when it does.

There has been no reporting to this point of whether she is being released early as was the case with other wrestlers that departed for WWE like Miro, Malakai Black, Rey Fenix and Ricky Starks.

Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez both noted in April that it was known she wanted to go to WWE and those within AEW expected that to happen.

The former AEW Women’s World Champion has been absent from TV since March’s Revolution when she lost in her trilogy bout with reigning titleholder Toni Storm.

After a run in Stardom, May made her on-screen debut on a November 2023 edition of Dynamite and was immediately aligned with Storm. Their alliance and eventual feud was one of the more notable feuds in company history. May defeated Storm for the title at All In London in August 2023 and held the title for 174 days before dropping it to Storm at February’s Grand Slam Australia.
