Mariah May finally gives a major update on her AEW status ahead of Double or Nothing 2025

Mariah May has been absent from AEW television for several weeks now. Days ahead of the promotion's upcoming pay-per-view, Double or Nothing 2025, the 26-year-old has seemingly provided an update on her status in the company on social media.

The Glamour has been out of action since failing to recapture her AEW Women's World Title from Toni Storm at Revolution 2025, losing to her former mentor in a bloody and brutal Hollywood Ending match. Although All Elite Wrestling viewers have been clamoring for Mariah's programming return, rumors of May possibly heading to WWE after her current deal expires have been circulating on social media lately.

In her absence, the former Stardom talent's long-time ally and rival, Mina Shirakawa, has officially joined the AEW roster and is set to challenge Storm for the promotion's Women's World Championship this weekend at Double or Nothing 2025. Ahead of the May 25 pay-per-view, a user on X shared a post speculating on the status of Mariah May. The post elicited a response from the budding star herself, who suggested that she has been on vacation.

"god forbid a girl takes a vacation," wrote Mariah.

May has been active on social media despite her television absence and has even dropped hints of a potential reunion with Shirakawa. Whether Mariah will finally return this Sunday to help her former Rose Gold tag partner become Women's World Champion remains to be seen.

Mina Shirakawa faced and defeated Julia Hart in the main event of this week's Dynamite. The Hounds of Hell member, along with her ally Skye Blue, was involved in fisticuffs with The Venus of Pro Wrestling after the bout, but fortunately, Toni Storm - who had been watching the match from the commentary desk - helped even the odds for her current challenger.

However, a scuffle subsequently erupted between Toni and Mina, and the latter delivered considerable punishment to The Timeless One by trapping her in a Figure Four leg-lock around the ring post. Shirakawa later voiced her resolve to unseat Storm at Double or Nothing 2025 in a backstage promo, stating:

"Toni Storm, you got a taste of what you are going to get at Double or Nothing. I have respect for you, and you are a timeless champion. But I will take your AEW Women's World Title, and I will show everyone wants Mina now." [0:00 - 0:27]

It remains to be seen whether Toni Storm will leave Arizona with her title still in her possession.
