Mariah May Open To Exploring TV And Film Opportunities Outside AEW

AEW Womenโ€™s World Champion โ€œThe Glamourโ€ Mariah May appeared on Niko Exxtra, where she talked about a number of topics including if she is looking to do any projects outside of the company.

May said, โ€œI mean, for me, right now, no pun intended, Iโ€™m all in with AEW. They gave me my life here in America, and that was always my dream as a kid. I knew I wanted to be an entertainer. I wanted to be a wrestler, which kind of felt impossible, but clearly itโ€™s not. But it was always my dream to come here, and theyโ€™ve given me that, and on my rookie year, to kind of give me the opportunities and the platform they have, and yes, Iโ€™ve delivered, but theyโ€™ve also given me that chance. Iโ€™m very committed to AEW and committed to kind of making a legacy and for me, it was tough. I did kind of have this crisis. Iโ€™m like, Iโ€™m in my first year in the company, I won the title in my home, on my our biggest show. So now where do I go? But I think the exciting thing is we forget that AEW is a baby. Itโ€™s such a new company. I think because itโ€™s so big we forget that this wasnโ€™t here five years ago. Itโ€™s just crazy. So for me, I think itโ€™s exciting because weโ€™re gonna have so many firsts and weโ€™re gonna create history, and to be a part of that legacy and that growth, thatโ€™s something that Iโ€™m kind of looking to spend the next couple of years doing. Never been TBS Champion, and we have Mercedes prancing around with all these belts, so I think thereโ€™s a lot of story there. I think every single new girl that comes through that door, thereโ€™s stories to tell, and Iโ€™m excited to be a part of that.โ€

On being able to do so at some point:

โ€œIf I ever did want to do a TV show or a film or anything like that, [Tony Khan] will allow you to do those things. We have such a stacked division that, I mean, if I went, it would be a great loss, but itโ€™s like, okay, letโ€™s give another girl a chance to make a name for herself so I can come back to something. So I think that is the exciting part about AEW is they want the best for you.โ€
