A Hall of Fame induction might bring Mercedes Mone back to WWE

The WWE Hall of Fame is a prestigious fraternity. Only a select few get inducted, and the erstwhile Sasha Banks is undoubtedly a worthy contender. At the age of 33, The CEO has had a spectacular career. Her achievements in the Stamford-based company are legendary. Furthermore, her post-WWE run is the stuff of dreams.

The former Legit Boss has been successful in World Wrestling Entertainment and All Elite Wrestling. Triple H could convince her to return by inducting her into the Hall of Fame. This offer is too good to refuse. Nevertheless, all of this is just speculation at this point.


Why did Mone leave WWE?

Mercedes Mone left World Wrestling Entertainment in 2022 due to creative differences with former CEO Vince McMahon. Both she and Naomi walked out after a reported disagreement with McMahon. However, Naomi eventually returned.

In a 2024 interview with The Breakfast Club, Mone revealed that she did not like the way the 79-year-old talked to her.

"A lot of personal stuff happened with myself and the Chairman at the time and I didn’t like how he talked to me and how I was, you know, talked down to. I was like, ‘It’s time to legit listen to your soul and your heart.’ There was a light that came to me and I left WWE," she said. [H/T: The Takedown on SI]

WWE could mend fences with Mone since McMahon is no longer part of the promotion. Triple H and Co. could reach out to The CEO with an offer to induct her into the Hall of Fame. Mone might bury the hatchet to accept the proposal.


Mercedes Mone believes that she will never go back to World Wrestling Entertainment

In the abovementioned Breakfast Club interview, The CEO stated that she has been treated with utmost respect and kindness in AEW and is fiercely loyal to the company. She has no intention of leaving and rejoining the rival promotion.

"After the way that AEW has been treated me, I don't know. I don't think so. I feel like I have the best relationship with AEW right now. I'm living my dreams and it's the best place I've ever been," the former Sasha Banks said.

Stranger things have happened in the world of professional wrestling. Even though the AEW star is adamant that she will not leave, she could return to the company at some point. In the past, many wrestlers who had issues with World Wrestling Entertainment have returned, including CM Punk, Bret Hart, and Cody Rhodes. Similarly, The CEO could return only for a Hall of Fame induction.
