Anna Jays status with AEW may be reaching a critical point, and a new update suggests her next move could come sooner than originally believed with no guarantees about where she ends up.
While earlier reporting indicated Anna Jays AEW contract would expire in Spring 2026, Dave Meltzer has now clarified in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that her deal is actually up early in the new year, and discussions internally are already shifting.
Meltzer noted that talk backstage is that Anna Jay is open to exploring other options once her contract expires, but her recent absence from AEW television has not gone unnoticed.
That absence may not be accidental. Meltzer suggested that if Anna Jay does not sign a new deal, AEWs booking philosophy could keep her off TV entirely.
As for WWE, Meltzer cautioned that while the company is often mentioned as a potential landing spot for former AEW talent, its far from automatic especially in the womens division.
He added that exceptions are made, but only when WWE believes someone can truly move the needle.
Even if WWE interest materialized, Meltzer noted that Anna Jay would almost certainly start in NXT, where competition is already fierce.
With AEW television time drying up, WWE not actively shopping for depth, and her contract now reportedly expiring much sooner than expected, Anna Jay may soon find herself at a career crossroads.
Does Anna Jay need a fresh start outside AEW, or should she look to re-sign and reset where shes at? Please share your thoughts and feedback in the comment section below.
