Is Mariah May headed to WWE? ‘The Glamour' quietly removed from AEW roster
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.

Urgent warning issued as dangerous fake Labubu dolls flood markets: How to know if your Labubu doll is original
To verify if your Labubu toy is original, carefully examine the features, quality, and packaging of the box and the doll. Look out for the Pop Mart logo stamp, which will be present on the left foot, and a QR code will also be present on the box. Also, check for consistent colours, crisp printing, and seamless stitching. (Image Credits: Pinterest) A surge of fake Labubu dolls , popular collectibles created by artist Kasing Lung, has prompted a consumer warning in the UK. The Chartered Trading Standards Institute (CTSI) has cautioned that these counterfeit toys may pose a serious choking hazard to young children. The legitimate Labubu plushie, sold by Chinese toymaker Pop Mart , has exploded in popularity, making authentic versions scarce. The toy's viral success has led to a market flooded with unsafe fakes -- in both online and offline markets. How to Spot a Fake Labubu Doll To ensure you are purchasing a safe and authentic toy, the CTSI recommends that consumers follow these key tips: Examine the Packaging: Legitimate products sold in the UK will have a UKCA or CE mark on the packaging. The box should also list a UK-based importer or manufacturer and include proper warnings and instructions. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Brain tumor has left my son feeling miserable; please help! Donate For Health Donate Now Undo Look for Authenticity Markers: Genuine Pop Mart Labubu dolls have several features to help you verify their authenticity. Check for a holographic sticker and a scannable QR code that links directly to the official Pop Mart website. Newer editions also have a UV stamp on one of the doll's feet. Check the Doll's Appearance: Counterfeit dolls often have tell-tale signs of poor quality. Look for overly vibrant colors, poor stitching, and an incorrect number of teeth. Authentic Labubus have exactly nine teeth. Avoid "Bargains": While the lower price of a fake might be tempting, these dolls often lack proper safety checks and can contain dangerous materials or parts that could easily detach, creating a choking risk. Buy from Reputable Sellers: The safest way to ensure you're getting a genuine product is to purchase from official retailers or well-known stores. Avoid buying from unfamiliar online vendors or unverified third-party sellers on online marketplaces. The warning comes after Pop Mart temporarily suspended UK in-store sales in May due to chaotic crowd surges. The dolls' popularity has also led to theft, including a recent incident in Los Angeles where thieves stole thousands of dollars worth of stock. AI Masterclass for Students.

'Dear driver of the creepy…': Brooke Hogan's husband slams paparazzi for invading her privacy
Steven Oleksy, Brooke Hogan (Image Source: stevenoleksy/Instagram) Brooke Hogan 's partner, Steven Oleksy, has blasted paparazzi, whom he calls "leaches", for a "privacy invasion" incident over the weekend. In the message shared to his Instagram story earlier today, he addressed the driver of a car that was tracking Hogan, which reignited fears about the underhanded methods occasionally used to get snaps of celebrities. His Instagram story read: 'Dear driver of the creepy white Honda with limo-tinted windows. I waved to be nice. Had I known you were paparazzi, I would have kindly introduced myself and asked why you drove so far for just a picture.' The comment, short but sharp, reflects a growing frustration among celebrities and their families over the lengths to which some photographers will go to capture candid images, invading their private moments. The incident with the power couple and public reaction In his version of the event, the brief standoff began when the husband of Brooke Hogan saw the car, which he described as the same color as one typically seen parked near his house, and waved at it, thinking it was merely an everyday vehicle, he said. Much later did he found out that the driver was supposedly a paparazzo who had followed them for several miles. It doesn't mention exactly where or when, but it sounds like in a residential or semi-private area. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Guatemala: New Container Houses (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search Ads Search Now Undo Fans flocked to social media shortly after to share the story, with many voicing their support for the couple. The comments section of the clip was full of commenters slamming the paparazzi culture, with calls for stricter laws on personal privacy, even more so when public figures are not in a work-related space. Others noted that Hogan, the daughter of infamous wrestler and WWE legend Hulk Hogan, who has also made a name for herself in reality TV, has mostly hidden away in the entertainment world over the past few years. Therefore, they claimed, such aggressive attention from photographers is less defensible. The broader debate on celebrity privacy The incident has sparked a wider debate on the internet about where the balance should lie between press freedom and celebrity privacy. While paparazzi photos of celebrities have long been common, critics say it has crossed the line in recent years. Also Read: Who are Brooke and Nick Hogan?
