Wrestling veteran Matt Morgan believes former WWE Superstar Mercedes Mone (Sasha Banks) is heading to AEW.
Mone spent about a decade as an active competitor on NXT, Monday Night RAW, and SmackDown. The 31-year-old held several titles, including the RAW Women's Championship and SmackDown Women's Title. However, she left the promotion after walking out during an episode of RAW in May 2022.
The former RAW Women's Champion competed in a few matches in NJPW and Stardom in 2023. However, she is currently out of action due to injury. Fans are now speculating about her next move, whether she would return to WWE or join AEW like Adam Copeland (Edge).
Speaking on the Gigantic Pop podcast, Morgan discussed Mone's future. He predicted that the former superstar would sign with Tony Khan's promotion.
