Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Mariah May made her impactful and long-awaited WWE debut on the June 3, 2025, episode of NXT. By doing so, she immediately inserted herself into the NXT Women's Championship picture. This surprise appearance came just days after her contract with All Elite Wrestling expired, where she was a former AEW Women's World Champion. The segment saw new NXT Women's Champion Jacy Jayne attempting to celebrate her title win over Stephanie Vaquer from the previous week. Her address was interrupted by a series of NXT women, including Thea Hail, Lola Vice, Lash Legend, Jaida Parker, Kelani Jordan, and Jordynne Grace, all staking a claim for a title shot, leading to a brawl. As chaos broke out, the lights dimmed, and a spotlight hit the crow's nest, revealing May. While WWE announcers did not mention her by name, May took the microphone with a clear message. "It's about damn time. I've wrestled all over the world, and it's only right that The Glamour arrives in NXT," May declared in a digital exclusive later posted on WWE NXT's X account. 8/25/24 AEW ALL IN - London, England 8/25/24 AEW ALL IN - London, England Lee South/AEW Despite her established "Mariah May" name, which is believed to be her real name, TC WrestleVotes reports that WWE will be getting a new name under the Stamford-based promotion once it's decided what it will be. She will be getting a new name once it's decided upon. — TC | WrestleVotes (@TCwrestlevotes) June 4, 2025 More news: WWE News: Steve Austin Reveals Real-Life Vince McMahon Confrontation This approach mirrors that of another former AEW talent, Ricky Starks, whose name was initially unmentioned upon his NXT arrival before being changed to Ricky Saints. This strategy often relates to WWE securing intellectual property rights for its characters. May, originally from the United Kingdom, was encouraged by WWE coaches to gain global experience after an NXT UK tryout in 2018. She made a significant name for herself in Japan with STARDOM, where she captured the Goddesses of Stardom Championship with Mina Shirakawa. She then joined AEW in late 2023, initially as Toni Storm's protégé, before winning the 2024 Owen Hart Foundation Tournament and defeating Storm for the AEW Women's World Championship at All In 2024. This is a title Storm later regained at Revolution 2025. Her arrival adds another major talent to NXT's stacked women's division, which also includes champion Jacy Jayne.

Mariah May Breaks Silence On Shocking WWE Debut
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. "The Glamour" Mariah May made her official WWE debut. She did so with a surprise appearance on the June 3, 2025, episode of NXT. This marked her first appearance for a major promotion since her contract with All Elite Wrestling expired at the beginning of June. May's last high-profile match in AEW was at the Revolution pay-per-view in March 2025. There, Toni Storm defeated her in a memorable "Hollywood Ending" fight to win back the AEW Women's World Championship. Following that, May had been active on social media, indicating she was on vacation. This now appears to have been a clever misdirection before her NXT arrival. She has reportedly signed a multi-year WWE contract. Previous reports suggested WWE was very keen to bring her in and that the plan for some time was for her to start in NXT.

Lee South/AEW During her unannounced NXT debut segment on June 3rd, it was noteworthy that WWE announcers never mentioned May by name. This has led to speculation about whether WWE intends to repackage her or assign her a new ring name, a common practice for new signees, despite "Mariah May" being her established and believed ring name. Following her appearance, May also spoke in a digital exclusive released by WWE, where she stated, according to those who viewed it, "She is now home." This is a major get for WWE as she is extremely talented and hasn't even reached her peak. She has wanted to go to WWE for some time now, but the company wasn't interested in her. However, that all changed thanks to her tenure in AEW. More news: WWE News: Steve Austin Reveals Real-Life Vince McMahon Confrontation May first made a name for herself on the UK independent scene before a highly successful tenure in Japan with STARDOM. She joined AEW in late 2023, initially as the protégée of "Timeless" Toni Storm. Their storyline evolved into a heated rivalry after May won the 2024 Women's Owen Hart Foundation Tournament and defeated Storm for the AEW Women's World Championship at All In 2024 at Wembley Stadium. It will be interesting to see whether WWE gets her on the Great American Bash card next month in Atlanta, which will go head-to-head with AEW All In: Texas.
