As seen during the June 3rd 2025 edition of WWE NXT, former AEW women’s champion Mariah May made her debut with the company. According to Fightful Select, WWE kept the specifics of Mariah’s NXT debut “very quiet as to not leak” and only “a very tight circle” knew about the plans for her.

Mariah’s AEW contract reportedly expired at the start of June and it’s believed that she has signed a multi-year deal with WWE. It was said that her move to WWE had been expected by many within AEW for several months.

Mariah’s name was not mentioned on the NXT broadcast. According to @TCwrestlevotes, she “will be getting a new name once it’s decided upon.” Fightful added that there should be “no issues with her using Mariah May as a name, as it’s believed to be her shoot name.”

Mariah posted a photo on Twitter/X to celebrate her debut and added “WWE superstar” to her profile.
