Mariah May stunned the wrestling world this week with her glamorous debut on NXT. The former AEW Women’s World Champion was spotted at the Jacksonville-based promotion just last week—and now, she’s made a seamless jump to WWE. Following her impressive debut, May broke her silence with a captivating social media post that quickly grabbed fans’ attention.

Taking to X, the 26-year-old star shared a photo of herself sitting confidently on the NXT backstage stairs—likely taken just moments after her debut. What caught fans’ attention even more was the caption, where she referred to WWE NXT as her “home.” With this powerful statement, and a series of bold posts across her social media, Mariah May made it clear: she’s here to dominate.

For months, reports suggested that May was expected to sign with WWE sooner rather than later, with speculation pointing to a potential debut in August or beyond. However, her appearance this week came as a surprise, catching fans and insiders off guard. WWE clearly has major plans for May moving forward, and next week’s episode is already shaping up to be a significant chapter in her journey.

Moreover, The Glamour has already made her presence felt in the NXT women’s division with a bold statement. She confronted Jacy Jayne, declaring herself the next challenger for the NXT Women’s Championship. May emphasized that it took her years to reach this point—and now that she’s here, she won’t waste a single moment in her pursuit of championship gold on the black-and-gold brand.

Mariah May to get a name change on NXT moving forward

WWE notably avoided using Mariah May’s name during her NXT debut, instead referring to her solely by her moniker, “Glamour,” in official reels and social media posts. This subtle choice sparked speculation among fans about a possible name change. Now, reports indicate that the former AEW Women’s World Champion is indeed set to receive a new ring name in the coming weeks.

According to WrestleVotes, Mariah May is expected to receive a new ring name as early as next week on NXT. WWE is reportedly planning to phase out her current name, likely due to its strong association with AEW, where she first rose to prominence. As part of rebranding her as a WWE-exclusive talent, the company is set to introduce a fresh identity for The Glamour in the coming weeks.

A similar approach was seen during the debut of former AEW star Ricky Starks, who was later rebranded as Ricky Saints. It will be interesting to see what WWE has planned for the 26-year-old as she continues her journey in the developmental territory. Judging by her presentation so far, Mariah May could very well be positioned as the face of the NXT women’s division in the foreseeable future.

Mariah May has signed a multi-year deal with WWE

Mariah May was a standout star in AEW, playing a prominent role as one of the cornerstones of the women’s division. She’s expected to carry that same momentum into NXT, and WWE has already shown its faith in her by signing The Glamour to a multi-year deal.

According to Fightful Select, WWE signed May to a multi-year deal prior to her NXT debut. While specific details of the contract remain undisclosed, the company is reportedly very pleased to have secured her. Additionally, it was noted that only a select few within NXT were aware of her debut, as WWE aimed to keep her arrival tightly under wraps.

However, WWE recently made several roster changes—promoting some NXT talents to the main roster while releasing a number of main roster stars. Reports suggest these moves were strategic, aimed at creating space and solidifying Mariah May’s position within the developmental territory.
