At AEW Worlds End, Tony Khan announced the official signings of up-and-coming competitors Hyan and Maya World, sharing his reasoning behind these latest AEW additions during the post-show media event. The decision highlights AEW’s ongoing commitment to strengthening its women’s roster with fresh talent as the company moves into a new year.
New Faces to Watch After Worlds End Zero Hour
During the Worlds End Zero Hour, fans witnessed the tag team Sisters of Sin—Skye Blue and Julia Hart—face Hyan and Maya World in a high-energy opening match. Despite losing the contest, the performance by Hyan and World reinforced their growing presence in All Elite Wrestling programming. Since their debut on AEW Collision on November 8, where they accepted a last-minute challenge against Anna Jay and Tay Melo, the duo has gradually earned recognition among AEW’s roster and fans.
Following their Zero Hour appearance, it was officially announced that both Hyan and Maya World had signed contracts with the Jacksonville-based promotion. This move brought new opportunities for these athletes and excitement among fans eager to see evolving rivalries and alliances in AEW’s competitive women’s division.
Tony Khan’s Vision for AEW’s Growing Women’s Division
Addressing the press after the event, Tony Khan offered insight into why Hyan and Maya World were chosen for full-time contracts in AEW. He emphasized their performance, respect from peers, and versatility as reasons for the signing:
“I think they’ve been doing a fantastic job. Hyan and Maya World came in and delivered time after time. They’ve been more competitive and have put on great matches. Everyone in the locker room respects them. They bring something great to the roster..Having stronger names for singles and tag teams helps, since they’re both good individual wrestlers as well. I thought Hyan and Maya World would make a great addition to the roster,”

Tony Khan’s remarks reflected his energetic support for these wrestlers, adding that their signing would benefit both singles and tag team divisions. By integrating Hyan and Maya World into regular programming alongside existing stars like Skye Blue and Julia Hart, AEW aims to deepen its storylines and elevate the level of competition in future matchups with established names and emerging talents alike.
AEW Delivers More Surprises at Worlds End 2025
The Worlds End 2025 event brought additional announcements beyond new signings. AEW revealed that El Clon, previously absent from programming, is set for a return in 2026. During a special vignette aired at Worlds End, the message “Clon activated” was shown, followed by confirmation that El Clon would appear on Collision in January 2026.
El Clon’s previous storyline saw him join the Don Callis Family after interfering in a pivotal match that caused the All Elite star Hologram to experience technical issues. The angle paused after Hologram suffered an injury, leaving El Clon’s return highly anticipated by viewers awaiting unresolved storylines and renewed rivalries in AEW’s expansive roster.
What This Means for AEW’s Roster and Future Storylines
With Tony Khan’s AEW signings of Hyan and Maya World, the company continues to evolve, aiming to showcase a mix of up-and-coming and established talent in both singles and tag team settings. Featuring athletes like Skye Blue, Julia Hart, Anna Jay, and Tay Melo allows AEW to craft compelling narratives for fans. The upcoming return of El Clon also promises renewed interest in ongoing storylines and potentially forms new alliances or rivalries, ensuring AEW’s roster and programming remain dynamic and unpredictable as 2026 approaches.
