Former WWE Women's Champion Mercedes Mone, better known by her WWE name Sasha Banks, left the company in 2022 alongside her tag team partner Naomi.

Following her departure, Banks made her debut in NJPW and successfully captured the IWGP Women's Championship. However, her run was short-lived, lasting only two months due to a hand injury that forced her out of competition multiple times.

Many fans anticipated Mone's return to WWE at the Royal Rumble in 2024, especially since her former tag team partner Naomi, who had also left the company with her in 2022, made her comeback.

However, Mone did not appear at the event, leaving fans wondering about her future plans in professional wrestling.


Latest rumors suggest that Mercedes Mone is set to make her AEW debut in the near future. During a recent appearance on the Kick Rocks podcast, Mone discussed her time in WWE and shared her thoughts on a potential return to the company.

While speaking on the podcast, Mercedes Mone became emotional when talking about WWE and revealed her plans to eventually make a comeback. "Know I'm gonna be back there one day. Okay? So it's not over. Like I said, I have a lot of unfinished business in wrestling, in a lot of places," she stated.
