AEW Star Says ‘Any Company’ Would Be Glad To Have Mercedes Mone’

NJPW

Mercedes Mone’ officially made her NJPW debut at Wrestle Kingdom 17 earlier this week after officially becoming a free agent.

Mercedes (Sasha Banks) became a free agent on January 1 when her contract with WWE officially lapsed following an agreement between her and WWE last Summer.

With Mercedes no longer in WWE, many have speculated about her making her AEW debut soon, mostly being speculated as Saraya’s tag team partner on next week’s (January 11) AEW Dynamite, even after the announcement that Toni Storm would be in that role.

AEW star Paul Wight recently spoke to TMZ Sports, where he was asked about Merecedes potentially joining AEW.

Wight agreed that she would be a tremendous asset to AEW, and that any company would be glad to have her.

He said:

“I think she’d be a tremendous asset to any company. She’s a star and has an incredible fan following. Any company would be glad to have her.

“For a long time, everyone got spoiled because there was one company to work for. Now there are multiple viable companies again to work for. It gives talents an opportunity to express themselves and create the deals they want to make. It gives a chance for someone stagnant in one company to reinvent themselves.”

There are people within AEW who don’t believe that Mercedes is coming to the company to be Saraya’s tag team partner on next week’s show.

Wight himself was recently added as a colour commentator for AEW Rampage.
