A former WWE and TNA star could be heading to AEW after reports of Mercedes Mone (fka Sasha Banks) potentially signing with the Tony Khan-led promotion. Fans have now reacted to the possibility of Deonna Purrazzo joining All Elite Wrestling soon.
The former WWE star has been in the pro wrestling business for over a decade. She has performed in major promotions such as TNA (IMPACT Wrestling) and Ring of Honor. Purrazzo was signed to the Stamford-based company for two years before being released in April 2020.
She was active in TNA until the end of 2023, before her contract reportedly expired. In a recent edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer mentioned that Purrazzo might sign with AEW alongside Mercedes Mone.

It's great for all of wrestling, every single talent, independent scene, WWE, and AEW. It's great for everybody because it gives everybody a dream to chase."
