WWE interest in wrestler Persephone

Overview

Professional wrestler Persephone, who holds dual contracts with AEW and CMLL, has become a subject of interest for WWE. Following her loss to Maya World for the TBS Championship on AEW Dynamite, WWE officials expressed confusion regarding her booking, with some describing her role as a “jobber” despite her status as CMLL Women’s World Champion.

Reports indicate that while WWE is not actively seeking to recruit other lucha libre talent from AEW or CMLL for its AAA brand, Persephone is viewed as a specific exception. WWE officials reportedly see significant upside in the 25-year-old Mexican-American star and are expected to extend an offer once she is legally eligible, though her current agreements with CMLL currently prevent direct negotiations.
