The AEW Dynamite Big Business exploded with just one name in Boston. The home crowd of ex-WWE star Sasha Banks greeted and serenaded her with “CEO!” chants. While the entire arena was having a ball of a time, several people are now wishing that they were at TD Garden to welcome Mercedes Mone as well.

The return of Banks to American pro wrestling was heavily implied but wasn’t directly advertised by Tony Khan. Because of this, not every hardcore Mercedes Mone fan was present in the arena. However, these fans have taken to the internet to express their elation with the CEO’s return. In fact, this list also includes the name of former WWE Superstar Nikki Bella.

Sasha Banks had a storied career in WWE and remains one of the biggest names in the company to this day. While she impressed pro wrestling fans with her mic and ring work, her magic also charmed the WWE locker room. Unable to withhold themselves, Naomi, Bayley, and Tamina Snuka attended her AEW debut.

The trio even pretended to disguise themselves as random fans on a social media clip before attending the AEW event. This kind of support is usually frowned upon, but recently, the competition between pro wrestling outfits isn’t warping its wrestlers into trouble.
