Free agency has been all the rave in professional wrestling. Several names have jumped from one company to the next for a variety of reasons. Whatever they may be, the opportunity for performers to get the contracts that best represents their needs is why free agency is important. Rumors are that Mariah May is slotted to get a big offer from WWE, and that would drive up her price with AEW or anyone else.
WrestleVotes reported that WWE is prepared to make an “outstanding offer” for Mariah May who may become a free agent in the coming months. May has not appeared on AEW television since her dramatic Hollywood Ending match against Toni Storm at AEW Revolution. It was an amazing match, which was an amazing match that was highly rated across all critics.
On April 15, Fightful Select reported that May is in a contract year. The report also mentioned there’s a belief that she would be headed to WWE from those backstage at AEW. The report also debunked the rumor that May was already listed on WWE internal rosters. May’s cryptic social media posts have caused a lot of speculation online about where she will show up next.
Mariah May deserves to be paid top dollar
In a time when both WWE and AEW are reporting strong revenue success via various events, steaming deals, and more, it is time for performers to start demanding more money for their talents. Without the performers, the businesses and the men making millions and billions of dollars would not do so.
May has been a focal point of AEW’s women’s division since stepping into the company. She was immediately paired with Toni Storm, and their shenanigans were frequently some of the most interesting and entertaining parts of the show. Even as Tony Khan fails to give the women’s division equal booking on AEW’s main shows. Her performance shows that she can carry a show and an important angle, which is an important part of being paid like a superstar.
This is the fun part about free agency in professional wrestling. There’s no telling where Mariah May will show up next. Regardless of that, she deserves a huge payday for what she’s already shown she can do as a superstar in the business.
