A current AEW star may be WWE-bound. The person is none other than Mariah May. There have been rumors about the former Women's World Champion jumping ship to Stamford.

During a recent episode of Live Q&A on Sportskeeda WrestleBinge, Bill Apter had a cheeky response to a fan question about Mariah May potentially showing up for the global juggernaut during or after WrestleMania 41 week.

"Yeah, we were just talking about that. So, is she coming to WWE? All I can say is Mariah May." [From 17:55 onwards]

The 26-year-old star recently dropped a major tease on X/Twitter amid all the speculations about her pro wrestling future. For those unaware, Mariah posted an old picture of her with the AEW Women's World Champion and a plaque from PWI calling her the Most Improved Wrestler of the Year.

Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer and Brian Alvarez also discussed The Gamlour's contract situation, with Meltzer noting he doesn't know when her contract will be up.

"I know from people in WWE… they know she wants to go there. I don't know when her contract is up; everyone seems to think it's this summer," Meltzer said.

Fans will have to wait to see if Mariah May resigns with AEW or ends up the sports entertainment juggernaut somewhere down the line.

Manik Aftab writes Exclusive articles for Sportskeeda Wrestling’s WWE division. A BA (Hons) in English Literature helped him improve his writing skills before starting his career as a pro wrestling writer.

Before joining Sportskeeda, Aftab worked for Ringside News and The Sportster, where his wrestling articles and feature pieces consistently ranked on the first page of Google SERPs.

He prioritizes accuracy, relevance, and ethics in his reporting by conducting thorough research, verifying sources, and adhering to professional journalistic standards.

While Aftab’s favorite wrestler in AEW is Hangman Adam Page, he doesn’t have a favorite in WWE yet. However, he considers Stone Cold Steve Austin to be the greatest professional wrestler of all time. His earliest memory of watching pro wrestling was when The Rock faced The New Age Outlaws in a handicap match, but it was the John Cena vs. Edge match from Unforgiven 2006 that got him hooked. If given the chance to manage a star from the Attitude Era, he would choose The British Bulldog, as he believes Davey Boy Smith was a terrific worker and could've benefitted from having a mouthpiece for his lack of mic skills.

When not watching pro wrestling, Aftab enjoys reading science fiction and watching anime.
