Did Triple H fumble the signing of game-changing 10-time WWE champion? What we know

Since taking on the role of Chief Content Officer in 2022, Triple H has orchestrated some major signings, including the return of CM Punk to the Stamford-based promotion and Jade Cargill's transition from AEW to WWE.

However, recent reports suggest that the King of Kings might encounter a stumbling block in the potential game-changing signing of Mercedes Moné, also known as Sasha Banks.

For those not in the know, the latest reports indicate that discussions about Banks' comeback to WWE have not progressed, casting doubt on her return to the company.

Earlier reports had mentioned that the former WWE star was seeking a contract exceeding the amount of Charlotte Flair, who is believed to be the highest-paid woman in the company following her recent renewal.

If these reports on the conversations between WWE and Sasha Banks are accurate, it suggests that Triple H may not agree to offer the 31-year-old star the considerations she desires to make her comeback in the company. Despite this, Mercedes continues to tease her potential return, generating anticipation among fans regarding her next plans.

In summary, it will be interesting to see how events unfold in the upcoming months and whether Banks will indeed make a return to the Stamford-based promotion.
