While Mercedes Mone is an established wrestling superstar who was formerly known as Sasha Banks in WWE, Okada is a NJPW legend who is looking forward to developing a career outside the promotion. Meltzer said, “Regarding Kazuchika Okada and Mercedes Mone, the belief from the AEW side is that both will be starting soon.”
