This week’s edition of AEW Dynamite took place at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ. The first Dynamite episode of 2024 was highly anticipated after all the things that went down on AEW World’s End PPV last week. A lot happened in the episode, but one particular thing caught the attention of the fans the most.
AEW added a new star to its roster on this week’s Dynamite show, who looked very much like WWE star Tiffany Stratton. The resemblance was so similar that many fans even called her the former NXT Women’s Champion’s clone on social media.

Newcomer Mariah May started her AEW journey with a monumental victory over her opponent on Dynamite 01/03/ 2024. She wrestled her debut match against Queen Aminata and even won her first singles bout. The 25-year-old AEW star easily defeated Aminata, despite the latter putting on her best efforts.
The ending segment of the match saw May hitting her finisher maneuver called May Day on her opponent. Thus, she picked up the victory via pinfall. She fought her first AEW match very well and winning her debut earned a big applause from the fans. Yet, it was not her debut victory but the striking resemblance that made her go viral on the internet.
