Maya World

Trained by Lou Gotti and Athena, “The It Girl” blends high-flying acrobatics with hard-hitting force in her North Texas-developed style. Since debuting in 2022, World accumulated independent championships including the Tomahawk Pro Women’s Title and Inspire Pro Pure Prestige Championship before signing with AEW’s sister promotion ROH in December 2023. She and tag partner Hyan challenged for the AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship on Dynasty’s Zero Hour in April 2026, establishing herself as a rising prospect in the major leagues.

World pulled off a shock victory over Skye Blue with a surprise jackknife pin on June 10’s AEW Dynamite Summer Blockbuster, advancing to the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament semifinals against her real-life mentor Athena. The 23-year-old continues competing actively across AEW and ROH programming as the tournament progresses.
