Mariah May shocked the AEW fans when she suddenly showed up on WWE NXT. The former All Elite Women’s World Champion had been absent for the last few months, and fans were starting to wonder when she would come back.
However, that was not to be as she showed up in WWE, much to the disappointment of Tony Khan. He has always been a big believer in her, so to see her show up at the rival promotion must be hurting him.
With AEW Fyter Fest 2025 tomorrow, here are three last-minute surprises that Tony Khan could pull off to counter Mariah May’s WWE arrival.
#3. Britt Baker can return to AEW
This is a tit for tat choice, and it makes a lot of sense. Bringing back Britt Baker would be essentially replacing Mariah. That would also go down well with the fans, given that Baker is such a favorite.

Baker could confront Thunder Rosa, given that the latter recently laid down a challenge for her. That would mean a great match between the two and something that would ensure a nice spectacle at Fyter Fest.
#2. Jon Moxley might kick out Claudio Castagnoli
Over the last few weeks, tensions have been running high in the Death Riders camp. Jon Moxley, despite retaining his AEW World Championship, has been paranoid and is slowly starting to show cracks in his judgment.
During his absence, Claudio Castagnoli filled in nicely, and it might seem like splitting them up would be a great decision for storyline purposes.
With some crucial weeks coming up for the future of the former Shield member, having him kick out Castagnoli will no doubt cause a buzz among the fans.
#1. Cedric Alexander could join the Hurt Syndicate
The ultimate swerve that Tony Khan can pull off is one that is going to affect MJF. He recently joined the Hurt Syndicate, and that was a surprise to many, as they had thought Cedric Alexander would show up.
With Mariah May showing up in WWE, the time will be right for Tony Khan to bring in Cedric Alexander to AEW, so he can replace MJF in the Hurt Syndicate. That will be the perfect way for Tony Khan to counter the departure of his former women’s world champion.
