Mariah May joined AEW in November 2023 after making a name for herself in STARDOM. May had one of the best rookie years in AEW history, winning the Owen Hart Foundational Women's Tournament and defeating Toni Storm to win the AEW Women's Title at AEW All In.
May has since defended the title against Mina Shirakawa, Anna Jay, Willow Nightingale, and more.
Speaking to Niko Exxtra, May commented on the working relationship AEW has with other promotions.
“We work with so many different places, and STARDOM was my family for a year, that’s my home, so any time any of those girls come over, I’m like, damn, I want to get my hands on them and get in the ring with them again. I think that’s why Tony Khan is so great and AEW is so great because they let you do that. In turn, I think everyone wins. If you think about myself and Mina [Shirakawa] and Toni [Storm], that kind of just happened because I happened to tag with Mina and we had the STARDOM show, and it all kind of fell into place, and they wrestled at Forbidden Door, and I think that storyline was another one that people kind of loved, and it was great for the women’s division. Then Mina kind of came back for me, and we had that story too, and I don’t think any of those stories are finished, either. So I think that’s why AEW is so different and why I love working here is because anything can happen, which I think is exciting," she said.
May is set to defend her AEW Women's Title against Thunder Rosa at AEW Worlds End.
