Is Mariah May headed to WWE? ‘The Glamour' quietly removed from AEW roster
Mariah May has reportedly parted ways with All Elite Wrestling (AEW) as she was quietly removed from the company's roster page. The 26-year-old, who is famously known as 'The Glamour,' is now set to make her World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) debut, according to multiple media reports. Recently, there have been rumours about May's contract with AEW coming to an end. On Friday, May's name was removed from the promotion's website, indicating that her tenure has come to an end, per a report from Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select. Sources told Sapp that May is due to join WWE as soon as her two-year contract with the Florida-based promotion ends. However, she has yet to confirm the news herself. May made her debut with AEW in 2023 as a Toni Storm superfan. However, she went on to defeat 'Timeless,' who was once her ally, at AEW All In London 2024, winning the AEW Women's World Title. She held the title for 174 days before being defeated by Storm at Grand Slam Australia in February 2025. Ahead of the bout, the 29-year-old said of her former protege, 'that she's the champion that I've always wanted to be but never could be, and that's because she does not have a heart.' 'My biggest downfall is that I have too much of a heart, Mariah, you sick b****. I am proud of you, but she will soon realize that that is just not good enough,' she added in a February 12 interview with Fightful. Since failing to reclaim her victory over Storm in the Hollywood Ending match at AEW Revolution 2025, May has remained absent from the wrestling scene. Now her fans await the day she makes her WWE debut.

'Poor sportsmanship' — John Mellencamp criticizes Pat McAfee's Knicks celebrity booing at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on May 27
(Image Source - Getty Images) In a blend of sportsmanship and showmanship, Indiana's rock legend John Mellencamp publicly criticized ESPN's Pat McAfee for his behavior during Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals. McAfee, recognized for his flashy style, stirred the home crowd at Gainbridge Fieldhouse to boo celebrity Knicks fans such as Spike Lee, Ben Stiller, and Timothée Chalamet. Mellencamp, stressing the value of "Hoosier Hospitality," voiced his embarrassment over the situation, leading to a wider dialogue about respect and etiquette in sports arenas. John Mellencamp denounces Pat McAfee's callout of Knicks celebrities as uncharacteristic of Indiana's hospitality In the fourth quarter of Game 4 on May 27, 2025, between the Indiana Pacers and the New York Knicks, Pat McAfee really stole the show at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The ex-NFL punter and now ESPN host took the mic to pump up the crowd, highlighting the celebrity Knicks fans in attendance, "We got some big wigs from the big city in the building! Spike Lee is here! Ben Stiller is here! Timothée Chalamet is here!" Each name was met with escalating boos, culminating in McAfee's rallying cry: "Let's send these sons of bitches back to New York with their ears ringing!" John Mellencamp, attending the game, was dismayed by the crowd's reaction. Without naming McAfee directly, he took to social media to express his disappointment, "I was embarrassed when somebody... called out some of the people who had made the trip from New York to support their team... The audience booed these people. I'd say that was not Hoosier Hospitality." He further lamented, "I was not proud to be a Hoosier, and I've lived here my entire life. " Ben Stiller, one of the stars who was called out, reacted with a mix of surprise and understanding. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo He described McAfee's remarks as "weird" but chalked it up to his WWE-style theatrics, noting that most Indiana fans were really welcoming. Stiller even invited McAfee to join him for a game at Madison Square Garden, pointing out the different fan cultures between the two cities. After being criticized by Mellencamp, McAfee remarked on his show that he heard Mellencamp's comments, but that he was confident in his role of inspiring the home crowd. Stiller invited Brown to watch Game 5 at Madison Square Garden, but he refused because of the ticket price being as high as $171,000 and not getting support from the Knicks owner.

McAfee hoped to bring energy to the home crowd which instead revealed the importance of keeping respect, even during hard-fought games. Joan Mellencamp urged people to be kind, remembering that being loving includes respect. Both the teams and their fans get to embrace what the sport stands for as the series progresses.

Natalya wants WWE Evolution 2 to spotlight new stars
Natalya Neidhart (Image via WWE) WWE Evolution is coming back on Sunday, July 13. This will be the second time WWE hosts an all-women's Premium Live Event. It will take place at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. The show is expected to feature top women from WWE and NXT. One person who is very excited about it is Natalya, who was also part of the first Evolution event seven years ago. Natalya feels this new show should do more than bring back legends. She believes it is the perfect chance to help women who haven't had many big moments. She wants the spotlight to go to rising stars who are ready for their big break. Natalya Neidhart wants new talent to shine at Evolution 2 Natalya recently shared about Evolution 2 on Busted Open Radio . She said the event should focus on giving a chance to women who haven't had the opportunity to shine yet. According to her, there are many talented women, especially in NXT, who are just waiting for their moment to break through. These women are close to becoming stars and just need one big match or moment to show what they can do on a bigger stage. Natalya believes Evolution 2 is the perfect event for that. "I really want it to be a chance for some women who haven't had the chance yet to shine. Women that haven't had as much attention or haven't had that breakout moment that they need. You know, I would love for this to be a moment for either somebody from 'NXT,' there's just so many women that are just on the cusp and they just need that one breakout moment..." Natalya Makes Her Debut‼️ | Busted Open She also mentioned she would love to see Michelle McCool and Layla return as LayCool. While she supports seeing legends take part in the event, she made it clear that the main focus should be on younger talent who need the spotlight now. At the first Evolution, Natalya teamed with Bayley and Sasha Banks in a memorable match, and now she hopes new talent will get their own unforgettable moment too. Natalya says storytelling is more important than winning Natalya also discussed why good stories matter more than who wins or loses. She recently watched a match between Stephanie Vaquer and Jordynne Grace and loved it. She sent them messages to say how much she enjoyed their work. She was especially inspired by Stephanie and wants to work with her in the future. Natalya's Take on Stephanie Vaquer: Ready for Main Roster? | Busted Open WWE NXT Even though Stephanie lost her title a few days later, Natalya said that does not matter. She explained that what makes a match special is not always the result, but the story it tells. 'That's what the great ones can do. The great ones can lose—and it doesn't matter.' Also Read: Natalya teases appearance as WWE EVOLVE prepares to crown first women's champion For Natalya, WWE Evolution 2 should not just be about big names or who wins.
