AEW Mystery Signing: Major Star Denied

AEW

With anticipation for the latest Tony Khan acquisition to be revealed at AEW Full Gear 2023, Mercedes Mone may be ruled out.

Copious buzz swirls around All Elite Wrestling and who could be the latest signing teased by CEO Tony Khan.

Khan had stated:

AEW has agreed to terms with one of the world’s best wrestlers, a pro who is known + respected by virtually every @AEW fan! They’ll come to LA to sign their contract THIS SATURDAY 11/18 on ppv at #AEWFullGear!

It seems now that at least one name is being denied by sources as not being the person planned to be revealed in the contract signing at Full Gear.

According to the most recent update from Fightful Select, their sources have denied that the mystery signing at Full Gear 2023 is Mercedes Mone, formerly Sasha Banks in WWE.

Mercedes Mone has been out of action after having suffered an ankle injury in a match against Willow Nightingale at NJPW STRONG Resurgence in May 2023 and later undergoing surgery.

Khan has been very open to saying in interviews and press conferences that he wants to work with Mone when she’s back from injury, but she isn’t expected to be the new signing announced at Full Gear “if people in the company are to be believed”.

Mercedes Mone was shown on screen at AEW All In London, seated in a suite in the crowd.

According to the report, Mone is still thought to be in the works to appear for AEW, and it just remains a question of when.

Elsewhere set for action in the AEW women’s division, two big title matches on this Saturday’s pay-per-view card.

Kris Statlander will defend her TBS Championship against Julia Hart and Skye Blue in a three-way at the Kia Forum.

Also, Hikaru Shida puts her AEW Women’s World Championship on the line against ‘Timeless’ Toni Storm.
