Speculation has arisen that a former WWE Superstar may be in talks with AEW for a potential deal. Mercedes Moné, (fka Sasha Banks) has been making waves in the wrestling world since her NJPW debut.
These rumors have been fueled by one-third of the Trios Champion and EVP, Kenny Omega, who teased an inter-gender tag team match with her. The tweet has sparked speculation amongst fans that a potential deal with the Jacksonville-based promotion for Moné could be in the works.
There is speculation that Mercedes Moné may appear at Forbidden Door 2 in a collaboration with AEW. According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, Moné has the option to compete at the event if she chooses to. But she does not seem interested in signing a long-term deal with the Tony Khan-led promotion.
Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio reported that Moné is scheduled for two more matches with STARDOM. This includes one with Mayu Iwatani on April 23, but she was not announced for NJPW’s shows in Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. in April. Mercedes Moné recently became the second IWGP Women’s Champion when she defeated KAIRI.
