Mercedes Mone had stirred the rumor pot by attending AEW All In 2023
Mercedes Mone, who performed under the moniker of Sasha Banks in WWE, ignited rumors of her joining All Elite Wrestling by being present in the audience of All In 2023. She began her career in 2010 and signed up with WWE in 2012, starting in NXT. The five-time RAW Women's Champion is also the first woman to headline a WWE Premium Live Event with Charlotte Flair at Hell in a Cell in 2016.
Kazuchika Okada, on the other hand, is a five-time IWGP Heavyweight Champion and debuted in 2006. The Rainmaker is one of the hottest names in Japanese wrestling and was signed with NJPW until 2024. He is the perfect candidate to create a red-hot feud with any of the big names in the Jacksonville-based company. Okada made his first appearance in the Tony Khan-owned company back in 2022 during a Dynamite episode.
