The wrestling world is buzzing with excitement after Sasha Banks, aka Mercedes Mone, dropped a massive tease. Since her departure from WWE in May 2022, along with tag team partner Naomi, fans have been speculating about her return. Naomi found success in TNA Wrestling, Banks, rebranded as Mercedes Mone, made a splash in New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW).
She made her debut at NJPW’s Wrestle Kingdom 17 in January. A few weeks later, she clinched the IWGP Women’s Championship. However, she was sidelined with an ankle injury and the recent developments have sparked rumors of Banks possibly making a move similar to CM Punk’s surprising return to WWE under Triple H’s leadership.
Earlier today, Banks shared a throwback photo of her NXT days on her Instagram story. This was followed by a clip of her NXT debut, where she developed her Boss gimmick.
With the Royal Rumble on the horizon, fans speculate that Banks might return to the WWE under the leadership of Triple H.
Update on Sasha Banks’s WWE return
As former WWE Superstar Sasha Banks teases her return, fans wonder if the former IWGP Women’s Champion is coming back. Details regarding Sasha Banks’ contractual situation with WWE have been revealed.
According to the latest reports, insiders from within the company disclosed that there are presently no ongoing discussions or creative talks regarding her potential return. A seasoned member of the WWE team emphasized, “Sasha Banks’ name will only be considered when there’s a formal agreement.” Currently, there is no such agreement in place.
However, WWE also responded similarly when rumors of CM Punk surfaced, aiming to keep such matters well-guarded. There is a possibility that WWE might be adopting a similar approach regarding Sasha Banks’ potential return.
