In a recent episode of AEW Dynamite, Tony Khan stunned us, spilling with multiple plans for the Big Business PPV. These included teasing a high-profile debut of former WWE star Sasha Banks. Fans were on their toes to not miss out on the intriguing details engraved in the graphics. Later, Khan’s way of highlighting Boston again and again in his speeches and a few of Mone’s old tweets caught fire in the rumors of a possible AEW debut for the former NPJW star. It officially ended the residual hope of WWE fanatics to get The Boss in action back in a WWE ring, ever. At such a time, WWE struck a chord by triggering their fans’ memories. The promotion uploaded the full telecast of the iconic WrestleMania 36 match between Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair on their official YouTube channel.
