Persephone, the CMLL Women’s World Champion who holds a dual contract with AEW and CMLL, lost to Maya World for the TBS Championship on the July 29 episode of AEW Dynamite. WWE staff have voiced confusion over Tony Khan’s handling of the wrestler, describing her role as largely that of a “jobber” despite her championship status.
WWE officials, cited by Bryan Alvarez on Wrestling Observer Live, say they see significant upside in Persephone and would consider signing her if her contract expires, but her existing agreement with CMLL blocks direct negotiations. Since joining AEW, her record stands at three wins and five losses, prompting debate within WWE about her utilization and future prospects.
