Mercedes, I guess, though I think Khan is only part of it. Wasn't there newz stuff about how WBD were pushing back against featuring the women more, too, to a degree?
Mercedes, if nothing else, has a certain level of clout to where the network might want to kiss her ass, not unlike their love affair with Punk and Jericho.
Edge would be a lot of fun, though.

Mercedes is the smarter and better get for longevity.
BUT that comes with probably the most insane stans in all of wrestling and considering the drama that revolves around the AEW womens division already I cannot imagine it does not get worse with her integration at some point.
Edge would be fun for like a year.

Of the two I'd rather watch Edge but Mercedes is probably the better longterm investment.

There's a chance Mercedes coming in makes the division better but there's an even higher chance that Mercedes coming in makes discussion of the division into a f***ing nightmare, so I'm torn.

Moné is the better long-term option, but I think that they could end up valuing the idea of Moné more than the talent herself and her own abilities. That being someone that is a readymade main event star that they don’t have to put much work into to get over, can just plug into a match with anyone without much story, have her deliver the goods and fans would eat it up because she’s not being held back by New York anymore. It would buy them time, but there’s been way too many false dawns for this division that even the possibility of Moné showing up leading to another one is WAY higher than it should be.

Mercedes has the star power, but I don't see her having any talents that put her above the women they already have. Edge is the kind of veteran that could elevate some struggling midcard acts.

Mercedes.
What would even be his name? His WCW name, Sexton Hardcastle?

If Mercedes comes in does it get shows a second women’s match? What a game changer that would be.

She is trolling so hard lol. No way TK lets her do that if he wanted it as a complete surprise. Will more than likely be backstage visiting friends.

Neither from both a fan standpoint and from a financial standpoint.
Edge should probably just retire again and Mercedes in that locker room oh boy that’s going to be a fiasco. Not to mention how much money they’re going to ask for. Not worth it.

Not to mention how much money they’re going to ask for. Not worth it. I wouldn't even worry about the financial piece imo. Khan's got money to blow and might as well try to bring in one of the most popular women's wrestlers in the game. And I imagine she'd push him to put more shine on the women's division so it would work out, even if the locker room dynamics get messy again

Mercedes. AEW doesn't need Edge. On the other hand, that women's division desperately needs Mercedes.

Mercedes walked out on the WWE, and you could argue they have a better booked women's division. Unless things get a lot better I can't see her lasting in AEW for long. And I get the feeling that's why we haven't seen her yet. I think that’s why AEW needs her. They need a performer who’ll give em shit behind the scenes for how lame the women’s division has been booked.
