After a well-crafted hype, Mercedes Mone a.k.a Sasha Banks returned to the American pro wrestling scene. It was reported in 2023 that her contract with NJPW will be expiring soon and she has been in talks with both WWE and AEW. While many fans wanted her to return to WWE after leaving the promotion back in 2022, she decided to make her way to AEW during AEW Big Business in Boston, Massachusetts.
