WWE Backstage Reaction To Mercedes Monè NJPW Debut
Mercedes Monè (known as Sasha Banks in WWE) made her NJPW debut at the recent Wrestle Kingdom 17 event. She was last seen in WWE in May 2022, when she walked out of RAW along with Naomi. A series of dream bouts await Monè in NJPW.
Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio reported about Sasha Banks’ NJPW debut. He stated that WWE isn’t worried about Sasha Banks possibly wrestling for All Elite Wrestling. Dave Meltzer noted that feeling backstage in WWE is that Sasha Banks will wrestle a bunch of matches in NJPW and end up coming back to WWE.
“I also know from WWE that they are very strongly under the impression that she (Mercedes Monè) will not wrestle for AEW. They think that shes coming back at some point, she’ll get this out of her system, she’ll do her NJPW matches, — & then come back.”
