The world of professional wrestling is known for its fiery rivalries and bold statements, and the latest controversy involves Mariah May, an AEW star, making a startling claim about former Women’s Champion Saraya.
May took to Twitter/X to react to the announcement of Harley Cameron and Saraya’s new merchandise on the All Elite Wrestling Shop, and in doing so, dropped a bombshell: she referred to Saraya as a “non-wrestler.”
This jab comes amidst an ongoing feud between May, Women’s World Champion Toni Storm, Saraya, and Harley Cameron, which dates back to late 2023 when Storm and Saraya’s alliance came to an end, giving birth to the ‘Timeless’ Toni Storm character on All Elite Wrestling programming.
The rivalry has been heating up, with May set to accompany Storm at the Double or Nothing PPV for her Women’s World Championship title defense against Serena Deeb.
Meanwhile, another rising star, Mercedes Mone, has been making waves in AEW since her debut at the Big Business Dynamite. Mone has her sights set on the TBS Women’s Championship and is slated to challenge Willow Nightingale for the title at the Double or Nothing PPV.
In a recent podcast appearance on Wrestling’s Writing with Russo, Vince Russo weighed in on the debuts of Mercedes Mone and Saraya, stating that Mone’s debut felt like a bigger deal.
Saraya, a former AEW Women’s World Champion, captured the title at the All-In 2023 PPV event at Wembley Stadium but had a lackluster reign, losing the title to Hikaru Shida on an episode of Dynamite. This has sparked questions about Saraya’s momentum in the Jacksonville-based promotion.
Mariah May’s scathing remarks have sparked a heated debate among wrestling fans, with some defending Saraya’s wrestling credentials and others agreeing with May’s assessment. As the rivalry between May, Storm, Saraya, and Cameron continues to unfold, one thing is certain: the world of professional wrestling is always ready to ignite controversy and drama. Will Saraya prove her doubters wrong, or will May’s claims be proven correct? Only time will tell.
