Former AEW TBS Champion Maya World has been sidelined from professional wrestling duties following a medical procedure. Her absence has resulted in her withdrawal from several scheduled appearances, including the September 16, 2026, episode of AEW Dynamite. This hiatus pauses her ongoing storyline involving Persephone and Britt Baker.

Following her absence, AEW President Tony Khan and his team sent World flowers and a letter to wish her a speedy recovery. While the specific details of the medical procedure have not been disclosed, the absence is expected to be relatively short.
