Fresh off her WWE debut, Mariah May is already leveling up outside the ring. The breakout wrestling star has officially signed with Paradigm for representation in all areas, locking in plans to expand into film, television, branding, and digital ventures, according to Deadline.
May, who made her WWE debut this week on NXT, enters the company with major momentum after a standout run in AEW. The London-born 26-year-old won the AEW Women’s World Championship in front of over 80,000 fans at Wembley Stadium during All In, then headlined shows across Japan, North America, and the UK. Prior to AEW, she built her name in STARDOM, where she racked up championships and earned an international fanbase.
In 2024, May pulled off one of the year’s wildest betrayals by turning on her mentor Toni Storm after winning the Owen Hart Cup. That same year, The New York Post named her Female Breakout Wrestler of the Year, while ESPN placed her in its Top 5 Under 30 list and called her: “a menace inside the squared circle.”
Pro Wrestling Illustrated also ranked her #9 in their PWI Women’s 250. Paradigm praised her arrival, stating:
“She brings a rare combination of in-ring credibility, screen presence, and crossover appeal. With growing influence across fashion, digital platforms, and television, she is uniquely positioned for expansion into scripted and unscripted entertainment.”
Known for her old-Hollywood glam aesthetic and sharp edge inspired by Sunset Boulevard and All About Eve, May now joins a stacked Paradigm roster alongside Tiffany Stratton, Liv Morgan, Jade Cargill, and Alexa Bliss.
With wrestling, fashion, and entertainment already in her grasp, Mariah May is looking like WWE’s next breakout multi-platform star.
