We might not be seeing her. In August, Mercedes Mone was recently seen in the audience of AEW’s All In pay-per-view event. This led to speculation that she may be debuting with the company soon.
According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, this will not be the case in the near future as there are no working plans for her in the company. Below is what he had to say during a recent Q&A:
“So a lot of times, you’ll see me get frustrated with irresponsible aggregation. And that happened very heavily, specifically on Facebook with a Sasha Banks story. SportsKeeda ran an article, and nobody reached out to me or anything to clarify any language, which is always a possibility, but it got aggregated by like dozens of Facebook accounts that said that I claimed that Mercedes/Sasha was demanding huge money from WWE. I have not heard anything of talks with WWE. What I said is I heard that the number that she’s after is a lot, and if I were WWE, I would pay it. I didn’t say who or what kind of talks were happening. And that type of context is very, very important. But I have not heard of any ongoing talks, with them, for a return or anything like that. So, it’s a little bit frustrating in that regard, but I haven’t heard anything lately. Besides that, the once working plans for AEW and Mercedes are no longer working plans.”
Mone, known as Sasha Banks in WWE, suffered an ankle injury during a match against Willow Nightingale on May 21 of this year and has not wrestled since.
Editor’s Opinion:
I’m sure it’s not a matter of if, but when she debust in AEW. The two seem like a perfect match for each other, and it would only make sense for her to be with the promotion.
