• There is speculation about the potential return of Sasha Banks (Mercedes Mone) to WWE in the near future. Mone and Trinity Fatu (Naomi) left WWE in May 2022 due to creative differences and were later granted releases, with Mone joining NJPW and Fatu going to Impact.
Despite being under contract with NJPW, Mone is expected to return from injury soon and make her AEW debut. While not confirmed, there are suggestions that she might also return to WWE, according to WrestlePurists (who have broken stories before).
The situation is still evolving, and a limited number of people in AEW reportedly have updated information on her partnership status. The unpredictability of wrestling, as demonstrated by CM Punk’s return to WWE, adds to the uncertainty.
• WWE has announced the following two matches for next week’s RAW:
– Seth Rollins (c) vs. Jey Uso for the World Heavyweight Championship
– Drew McIntyre vs. Sami Zayn
