Is Sasha/Mercedes next?

[Ben Wyatt]

Never say never and all, I can't shake the feeling Sasha/Mercedes is next to come back.

What say you? 

[polarbearpete]

I’ve had the feeling recently that they’re putting the horsewomen all on the face side of the roster to reunite them and bring back Sasha for a 4 on 4 feud, but who knows.

If AEW wanted to make a big splash optics-wise after the Punk signing, they would throw her a ton of money and bring her out this Wednesday.

[Zombie Mod]

isn't she currently out with an injury?

[The Summer of Muskrat XVII]

I’ve always assumed she would end up back in WWE, although this injury cut her outside WWE run off at the knees. But I think she’d be smart to say “f*** it” and work out a deal to return at Mania

[UN PLOMBIER NIGHTMARE #blm]

i feel like something has already been worked out for a while with her showing up in the crowd at Wembley

if i was her i'd probably go to WWE cause I don't trust much of the women's booking in AEW (prefer the AEW shows though) but maybe she can be a catalyst for true change?

[Jedi-El of Tomorrow]

Yeah, I think she's coming back.

Bayley's in the process of turning face, the women are getting more time, and she knows a Horsewoman Fatal Fourway would main event any ppv.

[TWERKIN' MAGGLE]

I'm betting on Ole Anderson!

Yes, but I could have sworn that she was supposedly gonna be cleared in early 2024. I could easily be wrong though

[Jindrak Mark]

I think she'll definitely be back but who knows if that will be in the near future, in 3 years, in 5 years, etc. She might want to continue doing NJPW stuff for a while or give AEW a go.

I didn't put too much stock into it because he was name-dropping a lot of non-WWE stuff on commentary during the PPV but Cole did reference her and put her over in a way that seemed a bit strong. It was something along the lines of "Bayley doesn't always get the respect the other 3 Horsewomen get" which would be weird to word it that way implying someone not in the company is above the current person if there's a chance she could then show up in AEW the next week/month. Unless he's already been clued in that she's coming in for a Horsewomen v new Damage CTRL feud.

When is Dakota cleared?

[Deleted]

Is she coming back? Yes

Is coming back anytime soon? gonna say no not with what we know about her situation right now.

I will say though if TK wants to actually grab some attention back his way from WWE he needs to do everything he can to get Mercedes signed for multiple years and idk if it will be enough but he needs to make that effort.

Around the Rumble according to Dakota.

[Captain Stud Muffin (BLM)]

I don’t think she has gotten her ego boosted enough yet to come back to WWE

AEW going offer her the world and they been planning things with her for months. Mercedes wants to be THE ACE not a 1B option

Tony should do everything in his power to get her.

Edge and Ospreay and Jay White are nice signings and all but I think Mercedes would be a far bigger statement (no pun) and game changer for them and mean more to their business. She'd arguably become the top star there the second she debuts and could help pressure him into getting out of the one women's match per show hard rule that seems to be in place.

[cornettesracket]

A few months ago I’d have said no way, but with the momentum WWE have and triple H beyond doubt now being in full control of creative, I more inclined to say yes. The main reason is that Sasha/Mercedes knows how HHH books women’s wrestling, and how much he pushed her in NXT.

[Treklubj]

Sasha was one of Triple H's people if I remember right. Throw in Michael Cole mentioning the Four Horsewomen a few times the last last couple weeks and I think there's a good possibly she returns sooner rather than later.

I don’t even think Mercedes would be 1B in WWE right now. Rhea and Bianca are two of the bigger stars in the company, Becky and Charlotte are still firmly entrenched in the main event and Jade is waiting in the wings. Mercedes would likely return to help Bayley get revenge on Asuka/Io/Kairi when they turn on her if she shows up soon. Whereas in AEW, she would instantly be THE star, as you said.

[john84]

I wouldn't complain as I do like her as a wrestler. But in terms of WILL she be next? Who the hell knows tbh. I know I'd pop if she returned at the Royal Rumble even if it got spoiled for me.

Yeah, and while Charlotte/Becky are still at the top, they have also been fine with Rhea and Bianca taking that step up to be the ones. I don't think Mercedes is there yet. She wants to be the one and AEW will provide that for her 

Of course, WWE could always throw a fat bag at her and that changes her mind. The ball is in her court
