AEW nor WWE will not be signing a top international star shortly after rumors of one star being on the free agent market.
Stardom’s Mariah May will finish the promotion this Saturday and then return to England to weigh her options.
The 25-year-old broke into wrestling in 2018 before going to Stardom in 2022. While in the promotion, she was once a Goddess of Stardom Champion with Mina Shirakawa. May previously did modeling for WWE merchandise.
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted that May told Stardom that she’s not going to AEW or WWE.
“So the basic thing I think I said Saturday was her last match. It is actually this coming Saturday, which is the pay-per-view with the finals of the five-star Grand Prix. So that is her last match with Stardom. And she is leaving. She’s going back to England, and she may come back. It’s not like for sure she’s not coming back. She told the company that she’s not going to WWE or AEW and that the door is open for her to come back if she wants to. So that’s the status. I think a lot of people thought that she was going to AEW for sure. And she may be, but it doesn’t it doesn’t appear to be for sure because she left the door open with Stardom. But Saturday is her last day with Stardom this coming Saturday on their five-star Grand Prix finals.”
