Mariah May No More? WWE gives her a glamorous NXT rebrand
Image via Mariah May's X Mariah May has got a new identity after her shocking move to WWE . The WWE Universe was left stunned last week at the end of the NXT tapings. One of the most popular stars from AEW, Mariah May, had arrived in the Stamford-based promotion and left everyone talking. She declared that NXT was about to become glamorous, carrying forward her AEW gimmick in the company. However, there has been an alteration made to May's identity, which was revealed in a glamour-filled NXT vignette, introducing the former AEW Women's World Champion in a new light. What is Mariah May's new ring name in WWE? On the June 10th edition of WWE NXT, a vignette aired to hype the arrival of Mariah May in the promotion. She was seen bathing in a bathtub and applying lipstick while embracing the glamour. A narrator repeatedly emphasized 'Glamour' and as the promo came to an end, they said, "The glamour is ... Blake Monroe." This has been introduced as May's character rebranded with the NXT flavor. Mariah May had been vocal about WWE being her ultimate destination for years. After failing in her WWE Tryout many years ago, she scratched and clawed her way to becoming a popular figure on the indies. This led to WWE's rival promotion, AEW, signing her to a contract. Upon her debut, May was paired with "Timeless" Toni Storm as her protégée. Following months of successful partnership, May betrayed her to begin their feud. It even saw The Glamour win the AEW Women's World Championship in her home country of England at All In 2024. The feud continued for months and came to its conclusion at AEW Revolution. It was the gruesome 'Hollywood Ending' match where May lost to Toni Storm, which eventually became her last appearance for the company. Following months of inactivity amidst multiple rumors of her exit, it proved to be true as Mariah May made her NXT debut last week. She immediately targeted the new NXT Women's Champion, Jacy Jayne, and now, with her new identity in WWE, things are about to get glamorous for NXT and most importantly for Blake Monroe.

AEW star Bryan Danielson made a noteworthy and unexpected appearance at the independent wrestling show "ACTION DEAN~!!!2" on Saturday, May 24, 2025. This was a welcome sight for wrestling fans, particularly as significant questions continue to circulate regarding his future as an active in-ring competitor in All Elite Wrestling. During the event, Danielson entered the ring and shared a respectful hug with the legendary luchador Blue Panther. This interaction was a special moment for those in attendance and quickly generated buzz online. This public appearance at a wrestling show is Danielson's first in front of a live crowd since his last official AEW match at the WrestleDream pay-per-view in October 2024. At that event, the celebrated former World Champion was defeated by his Blackpool Combat Club stablemate, Jon Moxley, in a hard-fought AEW World Championship main event.

He is reportedly dealing with "serious neck problems" and, according to reports, "has yet to get surgery for them." This physical challenge is a major factor as he considers if and when he will compete again. His appearance at the independent show was non-physical, with no indication of a return to strenuous in-ring action at that specific event. Fans of "The American Dragon" will continue monitoring his status closely, hoping for positive news regarding his health and a potential return to the squared circle, while appreciating his continued contributions to AEW in his backstage capacity. Regardless of what Danielson does, he has had a great career. More WWE News: For more on WWE, head to Newsweek Sports.
