Rumors are swirling in the wrestling world as speculation intensifies about former WWE Superstar Sasha Banks, aka Mercedes Mone, possibly joining AEW.
The focus has now turned towards AEW, who are reportedly in discussions with Sasha Banks. Contrary to initial reports suggesting a potential return to WWE, recent sources suggest that Banks has outlined certain conditions for her potential comeback.
As per reports, Sasha Banks has expressed a desire for a WWE contract value exceeding the terms of Charlotte Flair’s recent deal. Flair, who recently inked a new contract, now stands as the highest-paid women’s wrestler in WWE.
However, according to Sean Sapp behind the Fightful Select paywall, ‘industry insiders’ believe that Mercedes Mone, formerly known as Sasha Banks, might indeed be on her way to AEW.
Although AEW has not issued any official announcements, indications from reports suggest that Banks might make her presence known as early as Wednesday on AEW Dynamite. The reports also assert that ‘industry insiders’ are expecting the signing of Mercedes Mone with AEW, yet no confirmation has been provided at this time.
Potential debut date for former WWE Superstar Sasha Banks in AEW
Reports suggest that discussions are underway for the potential AEW debut of former WWE Superstar Sasha Banks. The lingering question revolves around when she might make her first appearance in AEW.
Banks, who was present in the audience during AEW’s All In event at Wembley Stadium, has a potential focus on the current women’s champion, Toni Storm.
In a post-show press conference at AEW Worlds End, Toni Storm indirectly hinted at AEW possibly signing Mercedes Mone, fka Sasha Banks, referring to a significant free agent in the market. However, in a humoros twist, Storm diverted attention by playfully challenging WWE Hall of Famer Wendi Richter.
Tony Khan could potentially book Sasha Banks’ debut at Revolution, where she might emerge as a surprise opponent for Toni Storm. Regarding Banks, it’s worth noting that she is currently on the sidelines, nursing an injury sustained last year in NJPW.
