Former AEW Women’s World Champion Mariah May, who lost her title to Toni Storm, is reportedly nearing the end of her current contract. Mariah May and Toni Storm delivered one of AEW’s most compelling storylines in recent history.
This rivalry began last summer when Mariah May betrayed Toni Storm, leading to a high-stakes match at AEW All In. At the show, May defeated Storm to capture the AEW Women’s Championship. Shortly after, Storm took a hiatus but returned in December on AEW Dynamite: Winter Is Coming.
Instead of confronting Mariah May immediately, Toni Storm revived her rockstar persona, pretending she had never wrestled in AEW before. After earning a title shot against May at AEW Grand Slam: Australia, Storm revealed that she hadn’t forgotten anything, proving her actions were all part of a long-term strategy.
At AEW Grand Slam: Australia, Storm defeated Mariah May to become the first-ever four-time Women’s World Champion. After losing the title, May challenged Storm to a rematch at AEW Revolution but failed to reclaim the championship. Since then, May has remained absent from television.
