Mercedes Mone might be finding a new home very soon, and it COULD be with TNA Wrestling.
Moments ago, Sean Ross Sapp from Fightful Select just dropped a bombshell regarding Mercedes Mone (formerly WWE Women’s Champion Sasha Banks).
“Major movement in the Mercedes Mone free agent watch, as WWE sources claim talks fell apart between the two sides.
Top free agent Mercedes Mone aka Sasha Banks and WWE had been engaged in conversations to possibly bring her back to the company. However, WWE sources stated to Fightful Friday night that the two sides are no longer in active negotiations regarding a return. We’re told the dialogue was friendly, the back and forth failed to progress, and WWE sources claim that their side walked as a result of it.
Another source within the company believed that she would end up appearing elsewhere imminently, but didn’t state where. AEW has their Worlds End Show Saturday, NJPW has Wrestle Kingdom next week, and TNA Wrestling is rebranding for Hard to Kill in two weeks.”
Under the Mercedes Mone name, she is a former NJPW Strong Women’s Champion outside of WWE.
At the IMPACT Bound For Glory PPV, President Scott D’Amore announced that the company would be rebranding back to TNA Wrestling in January.
On December 18, TNA President Scott D’Amore appeared on Busted Open Radio and hyped being on the goal line of “one of the biggest signings in TNA.”
It was also reported the next day that TNA “was looking to spend some money” on a big free agent after making major offers to both Will Ospreay and CM Punk but ultimately losing out on both.
It was recently reported that talks between Mercedes and All Elite Wrestling had fallen apart recently, as there were no more plans for them to work together.
Mercedes showing up in TNA would certainly shake things up in the wrestling world, and help to put TNA back on the map and get rid of the “TNA can’t afford such and such talent” narrative.
Will she show up? We’ll all have to tune in or be there LIVE!
