Mariah May has been the talk of the wrestling world on Tuesday as reporting emerged that the former AEW women's champion could be WWE bound.

The initial reports, sourced from Wrestling Observer Radio, noted that the belief was that May's contract with AEW would be up later this summer and that she would then be headed to WWE.

It was previously reported that May signed a two-year contract with AEW in 2023. Dave Meltzer said on Observer Radio that people within WWE "know" that May wants to join the company, and May has been posting cryptic messages of late on Instagram that could be taken as references to her future.

Also on Observer Radio, Bryan Alvarez claimed that sources within AEW have confirmed to him that May is headed to WWE as well.

Following that initial reporting, both PWInsider and Fightful Select have now chimed in on the situation. PWInsider indicated that their sources claim May still has "significant time" left on her AEW deal. One source claimed she is signed through November 2025, while another said there might be even more time on the contract beyond November.

Fightful Select has stated all along that 2025 is a contract year for May, and that continued to be the case in their reporting on Tuesday. The report further stated that although some in AEW believe May could be WWE-bound, others believe she is simply using her situation to maximize leverage in contract negotiations.

The Fightful report goes on to say that May "has a number of months, at least" left on her AEW deal. They confirm that she initially signed with AEW in August 2023. AEW still hopes to re-sign May when negotiations ultimately conclude this year.

May's last appearance for AEW was her title loss to Toni Storm at AEW Revolution on March 9th. Storm and May's storyline has been considered by many to have been one of the best in the history of AEW.
