A former WWE Women's Grand Slam Champion who left the company in 2022 could be buckling up for her AEW debut in 2024 after her deal with the Stamford-based promotion reportedly fell apart.
The 10-time WWE champion in question is none other than Mercedes Mone, formerly known as Sasha Banks. Mone allegedly walked out of the Stamford-based promotion alongside Naomi, now known as Trinity Fatu, in 2022 due to some creative issues. After months of her exit, Mone signed with New Japan Pro Wrestling to endure her career.
However, she suffered an ankle injury after a few months and has been out of action ever since. Meanwhile, Mercedes was heavily rumored to make her return to WWE recently. However, the deal between both parties fell apart, and The Boss is least expected to return, as per the recent reports.
