Below are a couple of top WWE news stories of the day.
• After Fightful Select reported that the talks between WWE and former Women’s Champion Sasha Banks aka Mercedes Mone fell apart, PWInsider reported the following:
“In regard to Mercedes Mone, the last we have heard (which was around Christmas week) was that WWE would absolutely love to have Mercedes back and have made that clear – and that at least early discussions between the sides have happened.
One WWE source felt confident about her eventual return as Sasha Banks, but cautioned that until a deal is signed, nothing is ever official.”
Later, an AEW source noted that Tony Khan has absolutely been in contact with Mercedes and said “if you don’t think we are in the hunt, you are crazy”.

• WWE NXT stars Bron Breakker and Cora Jade started dating last summer, but their relationship is reportedly over now.
Both of them have unfollowed each other on social media and deleted nearly all photos of each other on their pages.
Below are some photos of them together:
Breakker is the son of Rick Steiner and nephew of Scott Steiner. During an interview with Bill Apter, Scott said the following about WWE not calling up Breakker to the main roster:
“They are still waiting to bring him up when the time is right. I mean, it’s better to go up there with them having a plan in mind than just show up.
It’s best for him to keep on learning. They’ll know when he’s ready. I mean, I think he’s ready now.”
Bron Breakker is a former 2-time NXT Champion. On the other hand, Cora Jade is a former NXT Women’s Tag Team Champion.
