Former AEW Women's Champion Mariah May arrived in WWE Tuesday night, in a deal that's been planned for a while but had to come together very quickly. Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select is reporting that the 26-year-old has agreed to a multi-year contract with WWE.

Former AEW Women's World Champion Mariah May has arrived in WWE, and more details about how her deal came about have been revealed.

While some fans may see it as a step down for a one-time AEW Women's Champion and one of AEW's most featured players to be joining the NXT roster, this move could well be a smart one for both Mariah May and for the wider WWE.
