All Elite Wrestling&#8217;s fastest-rising star, Maya World, has been a great performer. While she entered the company as a tag team, alongside Hyan, the former TBS Champion quickly made a name for herself in the singles division. She received a push during the Owen Hart Foundation tournament earlier this year and had great matches against Mercedes Mone, Alex Windsor and Athena.<\/p>\n<p>The It Girl didn&#8217;t stop there and managed to win the TBS Championship a few months ago. She put on great matches on TV. Unfortunately, she lost the title to Persephone at All In last month. The returning Britt Baker had cost her the match. On Rebel Heart AEW Dynamite, which took place last Wednesday, Persephone, Britt Baker and Hikaru Shida defeated Maya, Hyan and Thunder Rosa.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, there is some heartbreaking news on Maya World.
