Biography

Ashanti Wilson-Stevenson, better known by the ring name Maya World, is an American professional wrestler who debuted in 2022 after training under Athena and Lou Gotti at the DFW All-Pro Wrestling Academy. She quickly made a name for herself on the independent scene, winning championships across several promotions including the VIP Women's Championship, Inspire Pro Pure Prestige Championship, HOT Women's Championship, Tomahawk Pro Women's Championship, MPW Tag Team Championship with Kiah Dream, and the ROW Women's Tag Team Championship with Jada Stone as part of Spark the World, at one point holding four titles simultaneously. After making her Ring of Honor (ROH) debut against her mentor Athena in 2023, World began appearing for All Elite Wrestling (AEW) the following year before becoming a regular in 2025. She and Hyan earned praise for stepping in on short notice during an episode of Collision, leading to both officially signing with AEW later that year while also competing in ROH. In 2026, the pair challenged for the AEW Women's World Tag Team Championship at Dynasty Zero Hour, while World enjoyed a breakout run in the Owen Hart Cup after replacing the injured Sareee, defeating Skye Blue and Athena before losing to Mercedes Moné in the tournament final at Forbidden Door.
