Mike Johnson of PWInsider has affirmed that AEW talents Mariah May and The Gunns (Austin and Colten Gunn) remain under contract with the promotion. This clarification comes despite their notable absences from AEW television programming in recent months.
Mariah May last competed at Revolution 2025, challenging Toni Storm for the AEW Women’s World Championship. Her subsequent time away, with her contract reportedly due to expire later this year, fueled WWE rumors, though Tony Khan was said to be keen on retaining her.
The Gunns, former AEW World Tag Team Champions, have not been featured on weekly shows since February 2025. The duo had previously re-signed with All Elite Wrestling back in 2023.
