The tentative debut date for Mercedes Mone (Sasha Banks) in AEW has been revealed amid AEW Revolution speculation.
It has been speculated for the past few weeks that Mercedes Mone will be set to debut with All Elite Wrestling after reported talks for a WWE return fell through.
Speculation of Mercedes’ AEW arrival being imminent ramped up on last night’s Dynamite, when Tony Khan announced that he would have an announcement on next week’s (February 7) episode of Dynamite.
In an update from Fightful Select, while it has not yet been confirmed, it has been implied that Khan’s announcement will be related to the impending arrival of Mercedes to AEW, though they were not told that her signing would be outright mentioned as part of the announcement.
However, numerous talent in AEW have told Fightful that they have been told by others within the company and those close to Mercedes that the working plan is for her to physically appear for the company in March, likely after the Revolution pay-per-view.
Fightful was not made aware of any potential date for an in-ring debut for AEW.
Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful was told this weekend by numerous people within WWE that by the time December 29 rolled around, WWE knew they were out on Mercedes, and that she likely would have been unable to perform at the Royal Rumble as speculated even if she did sign.
WWE sources and AEW talent that spoke to Fightful have been under the impression that Mercedes has been signed with AEW for weeks, though AEW has yet to confirm that.
