Mariah May, the British wrestler and model, will have her third AEW match on the next episode of AEW Rampage, where she will face Anna Jay, the former member of the Dark Order. The match was announced during this week’s episode of AEW Rampage, which aired on February 16, 2024.
Mariah May: A rising star in AEW
Mariah May made her AEW debut on the January 3, 2024 episode of AEW Dynamite, where she defeated Queen Aminata in a singles match. She impressed the fans and the commentators with her athleticism, charisma, and style, and earned praise from AEW President Tony Khan, who called her “a future star”.
May had her second AEW match on the January 27, 2024 episode of AEW Collision, where she defeated Lady Frost in another singles match. She showed her versatility and skill, and proved that she was not a one-hit wonder.
May is also a popular social media personality, with over 1.5 million followers on Instagram and over 500,000 subscribers on YouTube. She posts content about her wrestling career, her fitness routine, her fashion choices, and her personal life. She also has a podcast, called The Mayhem Show, where she interviews other wrestlers and celebrities.
May is currently aligned with Toni Storm, the former WWE and NXT star, who joined AEW in late 2023. Storm is mentoring and managing May, and helping her to achieve her goals and dreams in AEW.
Anna Jay: A former Dark Order member looking for redemption
Anna Jay, the American wrestler and singer, was one of the original members of the Dark Order, the mysterious and sinister faction that was led by the late Brodie Lee. Jay joined the Dark Order in 2020, and became known as “The Queen Slayer”, for her signature move, the sleeper hold.
Jay was one of the most loyal and devoted members of the Dark Order, and was involved in many of their feuds and matches. She also formed a close friendship with Tay Conti, another female wrestler who joined the Dark Order later.
However, Jay’s loyalty and devotion to the Dark Order came at a cost, as she lost her identity and individuality, and became a follower and a pawn of the group. She also lost many of her matches, and failed to win any championships or accolades in AEW.
Jay’s turning point came in late 2023, when the Dark Order disbanded, after a series of internal conflicts and betrayals. Jay realized that she had wasted her time and talent with the Dark Order, and that she needed to start fresh and find herself again.
Jay left the Dark Order, and decided to pursue a solo career in AEW. She also ended her friendship with Conti, who remained loyal to the Dark Order until the end. Jay said that she wanted to prove herself as a wrestler, and to show the world who she really was.
Mariah May vs. Anna Jay: A clash of styles and personalities
Mariah May and Anna Jay will face each other on the next episode of AEW Rampage, which will air on February 23, 2024. The match will be a clash of styles and personalities, as both wrestlers have different backgrounds, goals, and attitudes.
May is a newcomer and a rising star in AEW, who is confident, cheerful, and ambitious. She wants to make a name for herself, and to have fun and entertain the fans. She is also supported and guided by Storm, who is one of the most experienced and successful wrestlers in the world.
Jay is a former Dark Order member and a former Queen Slayer, who is bitter, angry, and determined. She wants to redeem herself, and to prove her worth and skill. She is also alone and isolated, as she has no friends or allies in AEW.
The match will also have implications for the AEW Women’s Championship picture, as both wrestlers are looking to move up the rankings and to challenge the current champion, Becky Lynch. Lynch, who joined AEW in late 2023, after leaving WWE, has been dominating the women’s division, and has defeated many top contenders, such as Sasha Banks, Britt Baker, and Hikaru Shida.
May and Jay will have to put on their best performance, and to impress the fans and the officials, if they want to earn a title shot against Lynch. They will also have to overcome their differences, and to respect each other as wrestlers and as women.
