In a surprising turn of events, Mercedes Mone, formerly known as Sasha Banks, has again set the wrestling world abuzz with speculations of her potential return to WWE. Banks, along with Trinity Fatu, fka Naomi, walked out on the promotion in May 2022 due to creative differences. However, Sasha Banks recently appears to be dropping hints about a possible comeback.
Since their departure, Mone and Trinity have found success in other wrestling promotions. The latter made her mark in TNA, while Mone ventured to Japan for a stint in NJPW. Despite earlier rumors linking her to AEW, it seems those plans have been abandoned.
Sasha Banks latest move has been a series of cryptic posts on social media, including photos of her WWE Funko Pops under the Sasha Banks name and a throwback image of The Rock emulating her iconic look. Adding to the intrigue, she recently shared a photo from TD Garden on her Instagram story, the venue for the recent WWE live event.
Check out the post below:
Banks has been consistently dropping hints about her WWE return, leading fans to speculate that the former RAW Women’s Champion might make a comeback during the upcoming Royal Rumble.
Update on Sasha Banks’ demand for WWE return
Sasha Banks has been generating excitement about her WWE comeback through various social media channels. However, she is currently sidelined for 2023 due to an injury sustained in a match against Willow Nightingale at NJPW Resurgence.
Despite her recent teases, reports suggest that Banks has made a substantial demand for her return to WWE. According to reports, the value she is requesting for her contract exceeds the amount negotiated in Charlotte Flair’s recent deal, which has now positioned Flair as the highest-paid women’s wrestler on the roster.
Whether WWE agrees to her terms or engages in negotiations for a new deal remains uncertain. Only time will reveal the outcome.
