In professional wrestling, comparisons between talents from different promotions are common. Recently, WWE’s Tiffany Stratton broke her silence on being likened to AEW’s Mariah May, insisting that the two superstars are on good terms. Meanwhile, a surprising reaction from Mark Henry’s son, Jacob, has raised eyebrows among fans.
Tiffany Stratton, one of the most popular wrestlers in WWE, currently gracing the rings of SmackDown, recently spoke with ComicBook Nation about the comparisons to Mariah May, an up-and-coming talent in AEW. Stratton, who recently came up short in her bid for the WWE Women’s Championship, downplayed any perceived rivalry between the two.
Interestingly, Mariah May, signed to AEW in November 2023, has been making waves in the promotion under the mentorship of Toni Storm. May’s recent photo on Instagram caught the attention of Jacob Henry, son of AEW commentator and analyst Mark Henry, who commented with a brief, five-word message. The screenshot of the comment has sparked curiosity among fans.
The 25-year-old May, a former Goddess of Stardom Champion, has been working closely with Toni Storm, even playing a key role in her feud with Deonna Purrazzo. The comparisons to Stratton, a former NXT Women’s Champion, have been unavoidable, given their similarities in age, in-ring style, and rising popularity.
Speaking with ComicBook Nation, Stratton addressed the comparisons, stating that she has a good relationship with May. The gesture was reinforced when May reacted to Stratton’s Instagram post after WWE Backlash France, indicating a cordial bond between the two.
While the rivalry between WWE and AEW continues to intensify, it’s refreshing to see talents from both promotions showing respect and admiration for each other. As both Stratton and May continue to make their mark in their respective promotions, fans can’t help but wonder what the future holds for these promising superstars.
Will we see a crossover event or a surprise appearance by one of these talents in the opposing promotion? Only time will tell, but for now, it’s heartening to see the camaraderie between these two talented wrestlers.
