Mercedes is Free Agent. This is a must sign for Tony Khan.

Shew, she's a must-have but at the same time, who's she gonna feud with?

Much as it pains me to say it, she's going to make Athena damn near an afterthought, because Mercedes/Sasha will be IMMEDIATELY slotted in against either Jade or Britt, I can almost guarantee it.

Jade vs Sasha don't need a belt tbh

Having Sasha be the one to beat Jade for the TBS title but due to Athena's interference or something seems like a good way to keep the title hot and give all 3 something to do.

I agree but I wonder if she's worth all the drama she's rumored to be. I mean Britt vs Banks, Jade vs Banks are must feuds.

Given the reports that she wanted to make women in the undercard mean something, I feel like in AEW she'd be able to accomplish more of what she wants, be an ace, but also wrestle the younger and upcoming talents

She's had an ego in the past, yes, but I think she'd be a huge asset to the company until proven otherwise.

I agree dude. The hanging question is if TK gets Sasha will he adjust his booking to give the ladies more time? I'm just not sure.


Also I imagine her first feud would be against Britt, which kind of sucks for Jaime Hayter because she deserves her chance to shine.

Having Sasha be the first one to beat Jade feels very, "Kurt Angle comes in and immediately beats Joe repeatedly," to me.

If she has to wait 90 days, I don't think that's happening

Athena or Statlander should before then

Yeah, it feels like Statlander is having her moment. Carpe Diem.

Don't remain me of that. First, Kurt crushed Abyss which was TNA's homegrown monster. Abyss arguably never recovered from that squash. Then, Kurt defeated Joe in their first meeting killing the latter's momentum dead for months perhaps years.

Let's be real here, Abyss never recovered from a lot of things

... A LOT... of things...

Yeah, but that seemed to be the beginning of the end for him. I'm not saying it destroyed him completely but it was the first nail in his coffin.

so here's the thing:

Sasha is an incredible performer

but she has a long history of "that doesn't work for me brother" when she doesn't get her way

not sure if I'm Tony I bring her in

Yup, I posted the same concern in the WWE thread. This is a legit worry especially given the recent MJF debacle (whatever the hell is really going on there).

[DeeBee]

She's got attitude issues, but if I'm Tony Khan, I'm giving her whatever dollar amount it will take. One, he has plenty of money to do it. Two, you're bringing in a megastar to your women's division (a division that desperately needs the help).

This would be a MASSIVE signing for AEW. Okay, they got Cody, but you would be bringing in one of their biggest draws. Not only that, she has the Snoop Dogg and Mandalorian connections which will likely bring a few extra eyes to your product. In my opinion, signing her is a no brainer. If she wants to come in, you give her whatever it takes to get her there.

[john84]

It'd certainly get people's attention I will say that.  Wait and see if he signs her or she goes to Hollywood or Japan but she'd certainly be an interesting signing for sure for AEW IMO.

[Deleted]

Yeah all joking aside it would be a huge get for AEW and a positive no matter how it is spun...All her associates would flock and it would bring more eyes from a demographic that had previously felt unrepresented. This is absolutely a thing Tony is watching right now and I do not blame him one bit.

[Heartbreaker]

Signing her would definitely bring in some new fans, I mean Sasha's fanbase is like the BTS Army of wrestling (man, Twitter is going to get a hell lot worse). However, they absolutely cannot just sign her and do f*** all afterwards like a majority of new hires. The women's division needs so much work so bringing Sasha in might help, but it goes beyond getting her on the roster.

Personally, I think it's more likely to see her show up in Stardom.

[crazydom]

Considering the amount he would likely have to give her to sign, there's no way I don't see Tony giving her the Punk treatment if she joins the company. It's impossible to overstate how much she would mean to the AEW women's division.

[kingoftheindies]

Not Sasha's biggest fan, but if true absolutely got to kick tires

[Killah Ray]

I understand TK probably has to try and get her, but I legit have no interest in seeing her run through the division and becoming the new final boss character of it.

[Deleted]

When you way the cost of having to deal with her supposed ego to sign her or do not.

TK would be absoloutley f***ing moronic not to go all in to pick her up...she would be absoloutley invaluable to that division and bring more eyes to not just it but the company as a whole.

As far as the STARDOM chatter I see.

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}KAIRI has a tag match with a mystery partner coming up....what if it is Sasha? not that I think it will be but how f***ing insane and of course cool would that be to debut Sasha in STARDOM.

[polarbearpete]

She’s a must-sign and would immediately be the biggest star in the division by leaps and bounds.

[Deleted]

Never been a fan, but I get why Tony would go for it.
