WWE Raw Star Praises Mariah May As ‘Total Package’, Teases Future Match

WWE

A WWE Raw star has praised new NXT signing Mariah May, hinting at a potential match down the line.

The former AEW Women’s Champion made her WWE debut on the June 3 NXT episode, appearing on the balcony stage during a brawl between potential NXT Women’s Championship challengers.

Natalya has now showered praise on May, comparing her to a notable Hall of Famer.

Speaking on Busted Open, Natalya noted that she is excited for May, noting:

“I’m excited for her and I think this is going to be a fun chapter for her. We were talking about Stephanie (Vaquer) last week, Mariah has a similar journey where she went out and explored the world before coming to WWE. She was a fan, she loved it. In real life she was a fan, then wanted to pursue this.

“Then she moved to Japan and she, like, basically became a student of the game. While she’s very beautiful, and some people might go ‘Oh so she’s a model that wanted to do this,’ she is beautiful but I can tell that she really fought for this and that she really worked hard for this.

“I like the way she tells stories, even the way she handles herself on social media, and the way she has told stories in the past, she’s a good little storyteller. I’m excited to see the stories that she’s going to tell with the women at NXT. “

Believing May has the total package, Natalya added:

“Mariah has, what I think is the total package. She can speak, she looks amazing, she looks the part, and she can go in the ring. She has put the time in, put the work in. 

“If you get busted open in the ring, she has shown she can work through it. I remember Trish Stratus, one of the things that got Trish so over with the audience is when she broke her nose in a match and then she just kept wrestling…

“I think Mariah May has that grit about her where she’s like f**k it, I’m beautiful, but I’m going to work through it. I’m going to show you that I’m not just another pretty face.”

Interested in facing May herself, Natalya concluded:

“I would not be against facing her, I just wanted to put that out there.”

Mariah May has now signed with Paradigm Talent Agency, which represents a number of WWE stars including CM Punk, Drew McIntyre, Liv Morgan, Tiffany Stratton and Jade Cargill.
