Mariah May is the reigning AEW Women's Champion and is regularly featured on AEW Dynamite and AEW Collision.
May had a historical 2024, winning the Women's Owen Hart Foundation Memorial Tournament and then going on to defeat Toni Storm at AEW All In to win the AEW Women's Title.
May is still young in her wrestling and AEW career, and speaking on Busted Open Radio, she named two areas where she is looking to improve.
"Two things right now for me are I haven't gotten to do in-ring promos as a world champion. That is something I would like to change. I want to do in-ring promos. It's not my choice that I get stuck backstage doing 60 second promos. I know they're going to be awesome, but I think I can do more and I'd like to be in the ring more cutting promos. The big thing for me is, people forget, and I've been wrestling for four years, but it's my first year on TV. Learning how to do that, and we have amazing agents like Jerry Lynn and Billy Gunn, so for me it's about trying to go to those people, have them agent my match and see what I can learn from them, go back to training, go back to square one. Work on my fundamentals, sharpen that up. I want to do in-ring promos and I really want to keep working on my in-ring because I know the stuff that I watch back and I'm not happy with. I always want that to be better. Learning how to tell a story with less is what I'm really trying to understand at the moment. AEW, we have these amazing wrestlers from Japan who can do so much, and they do, and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, but I know what I want to do and to try and get that vision and get that onto AEW TV is what I'm aiming for. We'll see how this year goes," she said.
May is set to defend her title against Toni Storm at AEW Grand Slam Australia.
She and Storm will be face-to-face on Saturday's AEW Collision.
