Note on If Anna Jay Likely Will Stay with AEW Once Contract Expires

A new backstage update indicates that Anna Jay is expected to remain with All Elite Wrestling as her current contract nears its expiration. The report states that the prevailing belief within AEW is that she will stay with the company, although she is reviewing her options while discussions about her future continue. No official announcement has been made regarding a contract extension or the exact timeline for a decision.

Sources familiar with the situation have reported to Fightful Select that Anna Jay’s working relationship with Tay Melo remains a significant factor in her ongoing plans. The two have been paired together for several years and are expected to appear regularly in AEW’s developing women’s tag team division if Jay agrees to a new deal. The report adds that AEW’s continued focus on expanding tag opportunities for the women’s roster could play a role in the final contract outcome.

According to the update, one challenge cited for Jay and other talents is the limited number of televised matches available each year. Working around 20 matches annually on AEW television can slow progression for wrestlers seeking more exposure and in-ring development. Increased airtime for Jay and Melo is viewed as a potential benefit if the company moves forward with plans to feature a dedicated women’s tag division more prominently.

Sources in AEW believe that Anna Jay's contract is expiring soon.
