WWE is gearing up for its second all-women’s Premium Live Event, Evolution II, and anticipation is building around potential additions to the roster, notably Mariah May. Following news of her departure from AEW, “The Glamour” is widely expected to sign with WWE. However, new reports indicate another significant talent, separate from May, is also being discussed for the event.
Mariah May, who recently became a focal point after her removal from AEW’s official roster page, is reportedly nearing the end of her AEW contract. Multiple outlets, including Fightful Select and information from WWE insiders, suggest May’s signing with WWE is imminent once she is contractually free. Her potential debut is heavily linked with Evolution II, which is scheduled for Sunday, July 13, 2025, at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta. May has been absent from AEW television since March 2025, with no significant creative plans noted prior to her contract’s conclusion.
Amidst the speculation surrounding May, PWN’s Cory Hays has reported that discussions within WWE include another “major name” being floated for the Evolution II lineup. Hays clarified that this rumored talent is distinct from Mariah May, though he did not elaborate on the individual’s identity.

Fan discussions have also included the possibility of a Women’s WarGames match taking place at Evolution II. While Hays retweeted a fan’s post expressing hope for such a match, his report concerning the “major name” was not directly implied to be about the double-cage spectacle.
WWE Evolution II will cap off a significant weekend for the company in Atlanta, following NXT Great American Bash and SNME 40, which will also be held in the city. The original Evolution event in 2018 was a historic, all-women’s show, and its successor is a notable development in the current Endeavor era of WWE.
