There’s rumors that Mariah May is leaving AEW and heading to WWE, Do you know if this is true?

We covered this heavily last week, but there was a lot of misinformation going around even when learning about this story. Mariah May's name is not on any internal WWE documents that we've heard of, there is no deal worked out, and she's under contract for a number of months to AEW. She could end up going to WWE, but there's still time on her AEW deal.

Do u think nikki bella will come shortly after mania or come in the weeks before evolution.

I'm not sure that even Nikki Bella is sure when she's going to be back in WWE. I just heard Royal Rumble weekend ahead of her surprise spot that they were going to do more with her in the future and the relationship was good.

Who is more a fault for the failure of Ricky Starks, Miro& Malakai Black in AEW? Tony Kahn or the performers themselves?

Each one is a case by case basis. Malakai worked until his deal was effectively up. Ricky Starks was willing to work, but made it clear he wanted to test the waters elsewhere. Miro and AEW had heavy creative differences. The latter two were benched for an extended period of time.
