We just got reporting that talks fell apart with AEW and now talks have fallen apart with WWE. At thatp oint she's gonna need to drop her asking price to get someone to bite for a real contract commitment if that's what the holdup is. I do wonder if it isn't just the money but the ammount she wants to commit also. Like would not shock me if she wants a Roman - Brock type contract because that is how she sees herself which hey get the bag but again would not shock me if she wants a high 7 figure contract and only works like 5 months outta the year and I think this because her dream was always to work in Japan and her initial deal was for the ammount of dates you could count on one hand. Like I just can't imagine it is simply she has outpriced herself not with the ammount of money between AEW and WWE unless she wants like half a billion a year.

Every three days it seems that the tide has turned with Mercedes and a different company is more likely to sign her. Makes me wonder how much of it is legit and how much is just her or her agent trying to increase her worth (which I wouldn't blame her for doing)

She is worth more than Charlotte, but I don't know if she gets it.

IF WWE wasn't willing to pay Sasha more than Charlotte than it is gonna be interesting see what they do with Becky's deal assuming she hasn't already reupped of course.
Learns in 100yrs that Charlotte has some James Bond villan level clause that no woman was allowed to be paid more than her.

Remember when the WWE 100% didn’t want Punk? I expect her to show up in the Royal Rumble Yeah, but there is a pretty major difference between adding someone like CM Punk to your roster vs adding Sasha Banks. Sasha is a nice addition, but she has a limit to her value (which she apparently dramatically overestimates). Punk is one of those talents who can sell out a 10,000 seat venue pretty much by himself. I'm not convinced that Sasha is on that level.

If all this is true, this is Mercedes opportunity to prove WWE wrong.

So she's coming back to WWE then? I mean, how can anybody believe these dirtsheet idiots after what happened with CM Punk 2 months ago?

All the folks like SRS and Meltzer said was that they had not heard he was coming in + folks internally knew nothing about it + they personally did not expect it. And all of that lines up with the timeline of how the deal came together that Hunter mentioned at the press conference. For what it's worth - this sort of language of "expected elsewhere" was also used with Renee and Adam Copeland.

Mercedes: "I want banks."
Triple H: "Sure, when you re-sign, you’ll get your name back."
Mercedes: ."No, I mean I want the contents of multiple banks."

It will definitely be great and a new start if Mone signs with AEW.
But, if she does truly return as #30 in the Rumble, SRS has got to cool it with the self-arrogance and the "I'm better than you" attitude. If you are wrong, just man up and move on to the next story.

For what it's worth - this sort of language of "expected elsewhere" was also used with Renee and Adam Copeland. Folk's internally knew nothing about it? Not the production team who had to make CM Punk's new theme with the newly released remastered version? Not the graphic department who had the new CM Punk shirt for sale moments after he returned? Not payroll who had to know his contract and how much he was getting? Not Seth Rollins who used the term "Best in the World" and was cursing out Punk (in kayabe) when he returned? Not Nakamura who used the GTS, a move he never uses, for no reason at all? Not Corey Graves using lines from famous CM Punk ROH promo's? Or even the graphic team again who put a hiddem image of Punk in the mens's War Games poster?? Yeah, no one knew. Even if the deal happen at the last minute, it's clear they were in talks and it was clear he was coming back eventually. The subtle hints and nods were there, just like when Cody Rhodes returned in 2022. It was mostly a matter of when, not if. And Chicago was the perfect place. And that's why I don't believe this. I mean, it's entirely possible it's true, but you never know.

It’d probably be better for the industry if Mone went to AEW. It’d be a big hit of star power for a division that FINALLY looks like getting its shit together. Going back to WWE, even accounting for the management change, there hasn’t been THAT much talent turnover in her absence (which is only a year and a half, mind) that there’s a dozen fresh opponents waiting for her like in AEW.

This is my thought on the situation, really. Mercedes/Sasha would be worth a big paycheck in WWE in a vacuum, but if she came back right now, a lot of what would be on the table for her would be matches we've seen already. That isn't to say there'd be no value in that, or that it'd have to be the same, but there's only a limited number of fresh matchups for her there right now. In AEW, that number goes up quite a bit, where I think Willow is one of the only women currently there she's really wrestled before, right? I forget if Saraya was still active as Paige by the time Sasha was on the main stage.

Agree it's just gonna be so much more fresh in AEW. Plus she's younger than Copeland, so she has SO MANY more years go to in the business. She's a building block not just for the women's roster but the company. So debuting tomorrow night is a GREAT way to create some new buzz and energy for the first Dynamite in 2024.

I think there was SOME crossover.
