Maya World sidelined following medical procedure

Maya World AEW TBS Championship medical procedure professional wrestling AEW Dynamite

Former AEW TBS Champion Maya World has been sidelined from professional wrestling duties following a recent medical procedure. While the specific details of the procedure have not been disclosed, reports indicate that her absence is expected to be relatively short.

World has already withdrawn from several scheduled appearances and is not expected to compete on the September 16, 2026, episode of AEW Dynamite. This medical hiatus pauses her ongoing storyline involving Persephone, the current TBS Champion, and Britt Baker.

World’s recent momentum included capturing the TBS Championship from Hikaru Shida at AEW Redemption on July 26. Her reign ended after interference from Britt Baker during a title defense against Persephone. Although no exact return date has been announced, those close to the situation remain optimistic about her recovery.
