Fightful Select now says that Mercedes Moné remains under contract with AEW and is expected to be back with the company.
Although, there is no timetable for her return it is expected to be in the near future. Whenever it will be, her return is expected to make a huge impact on the top of the card.
Before she took a break from wrestling, Monè dropped the remaining championships she was holding at various indy shows.

WWE Superstar Logan Paul has been out of action since tearing his tricep in a WWE Tag Team Championship match against The Street Profits at Saturday Nights Main Event on May 23rd.
He recently opened up about how he’s been doing since tearing his tricep on the newest episode of Impaulsive
“It (torn tricep) has put me in a pretty mentally stuck spot that I’m not used to.”
”It’s (torn tricep injury) depressing, I don’t know how else to say it and I’m not the depression guy, you guys know I’m pretty gung-ho and happy about life. Everyday’s a little better but I’m struggling”
“Austin and I had so much momentum and we were about to go on a generational tag team run — everything’s firing and then I’m just thrown this curve ball during the last move of this match and now the next 6 months of my life look different”
Logan will reportedly be out 6 months with his torn tricep, but has many other projects going on outside of wrestling.

El Grande Americano has become one of the most over performers currently in Mexico.
AAA commentator and former WWE Superstar JBL states on Busted Open Radio that he would rather have El Grande Americano in AAA full time than go back to the WWE main roster. He also believes that a TV deal for AAA could happen.
“I want him to stay in Mexico. There’s no doubt about it to me. It’s hard to get over. It’s hard to get over anywhere. If guys can get over anywhere, I don’t care if it’s Tennessee, Japan, Puerto Rico, Mexico, it doesn’t matter. If you can get over, that’s tough to do”
“He is the biggest star in Mexico right now, and that is amazing. I would ride this AAA wave. I don’t know what they’re coming for next. I don’t have any insight about this so I’m not giving away anything from meetings or anything. But I think they’re gonna get a pretty good TV deal coming up. They got a good TV Fox deal down from Mexico down south, all the way down to South America. I think they’ll get another TV deal”
“And what would you want to be? You want to be the biggest star on this new deal and be one of the reasons that they brought it to you? I think that’s an opportunity that’s just too good to pass up. I would stay down in Mexico… He can make a fortune down in Mexico. Some from wrestling, a lot from opportunities down there. They have adopted that man and my advice would be to stay where it’s good”
