AEW CEO and President Tony Khan has addressed the possibility of Mercedes Mone (Sasha Banks) debuting for the company.
Tonight’s March 13 ‘Big Business’ special edition of AEW Dynamite has seemingly been built around the expected debut of Mone, without actually announcing she’ll be debuting or even mentioning her name on TV.
In a new interview with TVInsider, Tony Khan was asked:
“The teases and speculation are out there. Can we expect to see a new talent or two show up?”
He replied:
“Of course. I promise I will not disappoint the fans tonight. There has been an influx of huge names, and tonight is the biggest show yet.”
Regarding the AEW recruitment process, Khan said:
“When we launched AEW, it was the first time in many years that so many resources and such a strong roster of wrestlers have come together to form a new challenger promotion.
“After five years, AEW is now stronger than ever before.
“Our roster continues to get deeper and better. This has become a popular destination that top stars seek out. This is the perfect time to continue expanding and growing.
“That is what tonight is all about. AEW Big Business. With such a strong group of wrestlers in AEW today, we’ve come so far from the beginning of 2019.
“Now we have what I believe is the best roster in pro wrestling today. There are still so many great stars out there we are always looking to add and strengthen the group. I think we will continue to try to strengthen whenever we can add someone’s skills to make AEW better.
“I think that constant innovation and the perpetual strides toward always wanting to get better are a big part of the spirit of AEW. I think tonight’s Big Business show on TBS will showcase that innovation and fighting spirit.”
