Since Sasha Banks was born and raised in Boston, the posting of the Dynamite in Boston on Ticketmaster earlier in the day caused quite a stir. Khan’s statement, which included a graphic that said “BO$$TON,” only served to heighten the guesswork. A dollar symbol was ingeniously inserted where the first ‘S’ in ‘Business’ would normally go, drawing a comparison to the ‘Bo$$’ trick used by banks.

Mercedes was not explicitly named, but her involvement is indicated given the circumstances. As if that weren’t enough, Khan dropped hints that Big Bu$iness will be an unforgettable evening for AEW and the entire professional wrestling business.
