Mariah May Signed Multi-Year WWE Deal

Mariah May isn’t just in NXT—she’s officially locked in.

After shocking fans with her surprise appearance on the June 3 episode of WWE NXT, Fightful Select has confirmed that May has signed a multi-year contract with WWE.

Sources within WWE kept the deal tightly guarded until the last minute. According to the report, “a very tight circle knew ‘officially’ that May was on board ahead of time,” and the script for her debut segment wasn’t relayed to talent until just before it aired live. WWE made sure the surprise stayed under wraps.

Her debut came at the height of chaos in the NXT women’s division. As the ring overflowed with contenders calling out new champion Jacy Jayne, the lights dropped—and there stood May on the balcony, owning the moment. She declared, “I’m the next NXT Women’s Champion,” as the crowd erupted.

It was also noted that WWE has been “moving talent around in anticipation of the move,” signaling that May’s arrival is part of a broader shift within NXT. Several stars have already transitioned to the main roster, making room for new names like hers to step up.

While WWE hasn’t confirmed whether she’ll keep using “Mariah May” on television, it’s believed that the name is hers to use if both sides agree. However, WrestleVotes repotted earlier that they expect it to change. So, take that for what it’s worth.

Now that her signing is official, the clock is ticking on when May steps into the ring. But one thing’s clear—she didn’t come to play a supporting role.
