One of AEW's most popular names has been absent from the promotion's programming for a couple of months now. The star in question, Mariah May, is currently linked with rumors of a potential WWE move.
The Glamour has not been seen in action in All Elite Wrestling since her unforgettable "Hollywood Ending" showdown with Toni Storm over the AEW Women's World Title at Revolution 2025. Rumors surrounding Mariah's future began to make the rounds after it was reported that the budding star could be WWE-bound. Many believe this to be the reason behind May not being featured on All Elite television lately.
Incidentally, this week on AEW Dynamite: Beach Break, the 26-year-old's long-time ally, former stablemate, and rival Mina Shirakawa returned to the Tony Khan-led promotion officially as a member of its women's division. Furthermore, she pinned the reigning Women's World Champion Toni Storm in a four-way Eliminator Match, securing a title bout for Double or Nothing 2025. Although both grapplers share history with Mariah May, The Fighting Princess was not mentioned at all by commentary during Storm's interactions with Mina this Wednesday.
Hours after this week's Dynamite, May took to Instagram to share photographs of herself, posing behind some backstage steel fencing, with an interesting caption.
"finally someone let me out of my cage," wrote May.

WWE is reportedly planning to make an "outstanding" offer to Mariah once her All Elite contract expires. Whether she will jump ship after her deal runs out remains to be seen.
AEW recently re-signed another fan favorite
AEW fans were recently clamoring for the company to retain another major name from its women's division, who was supposedly also in a contract year, the star being none other than Willow Nightingale.
It now appears that the former TBS Champion is set to continue her stint in the Jacksonville-based promotion, as Fightful Select has reported that The Babe with The Power has penned a new multi-year contract with All Elite Wrestling.
Nightingale is currently part of the babyface resistance fighting against The Death Riders and The Elite and may be involved in the upcoming Anarchy in the Arena match scheduled for Double or Nothing 2025.
