The Glamour joined All Elite Wrestling in November 2023 and quickly became a fan-favorite while working with Toni Storm and Mina Shirakawa. May won the Owen Hart Cup last summer and went on to have a 174-day reign as the Women's World Champion after dethroning Timeless Toni in her hometown. Storm ended the London native's reign at AEW Grand Slam this past February

May has not wrestled since losing the Hollywood Ending rematch to Storm at Revolution on March 9. Rumors of May potentially leaving for WWE recently picked up, and today, she was removed from the official All Elite Wrestling roster. Sources then confirmed that Mariah was no longer with AEW, fueling the speculations of her jumping ship even more.

New star debuts on AEW Dynamite

Tony Khan has around 50-60 women's division talents between AEW and ROH. He added a new name to the competition on last night's post-Double or Nothing Dynamite.

Thekla has officially debuted in All Elite Wrestling after recent speculations. The 32-year-old Austrian attacked Jamie Hayter on Dynamite during her interview with Renee Paquette, laying the babyface out in a brutal statement.

The Toxic Spider finished with Stardom in late April, losing to Sayaka Kurara. Thekla, who was recently the subject of Mercedes Moné rumors, is familiar with a few All Elite talents, including Mina Shirakawa. Only one other wrestler has faced Thekla in more singles matches, with Shirakawa losing their last singles bout in March.
