I don't watch WWE, but I freely admit I see both the benefit and the hard realities of talent jumping every 3-5 years between AEW and WWE.

A change of scenery is good and freshens you up. I think that she'll have a run in AEW, and a great one at that, but eventually she'll find her way back to WWE.

[HIM]

Yep. I see most of the WWE talent in AEW switching between the companies every good amount of years. It benefits everyone. I can see it happening with some WWE talent too like I don't know, an Ivar for example.

Yeah, jumping can create excitement and get hilarious situations like Steamboat between 88-91 went from the WWF to NWA back to WWF then finally back to WCW.

Bret went back.

Bruno went back.

Warrior went back.

Wendi Richter went back.

Madusa went back.

Hogan and co went back.

Brock went back.

Goldberg went back.

Jeff Jarrett went back.

Punk went back.

Macho Man might have gone back had he lived longer.

Etc.


It’s rare that anyone stays away for good. And Mercedes is STILL barely into her 30’s as well let’s not forget.

Why wouldn't she keep options open?

She's still very young, she could have a 5 year run in AEW easy and go back to WWE with miles still left on her career tbh. I don't think it's crazy for her to say this.

[darbus alan]

I think that's a healthy mindset to have even ahead of her AEW run. It means she's not going to AEW to spite WWE or because of a "grass is always greener" belief only to feel jaded once there's a setback.

Mercedes is still only 32, so even if she's long term with AEW, she'll still be firmly in the prime of her career once that deal is done and she explores her options again. Like she'd be as old after a proverbial 5 year deal as Charlotte and Becky are now. Hell, Asuka's in her early 40's and still going really strong.

It’s a little bizarre to say the things she’s said in the interviews I read today, when she’s imminently debuting for AEW. Of course it’s probably true that she plans on going back but it gives the impression that I’m going to stop here for a little bit before I head back to where I really want to go. Very curious to hear how many years she signed for.

[J is Justice]

I love that she didn't go back. She accomplished pretty much everything there, so why not branch out and try new things? Having said that, I need to see Mercedes vs Tiffy.

She was negotiating with WWE late last year. It’s not like it was any secret that she was open to going back.

Right I’m sure she thinks she’ll be back. But it’s not typical to be that direct when you’re about to debut for the other company.

Gun to your head, who are you rooting for?

[The Kevstaaa]

I mean, duh. It always felt like she was heading off on a run to try new things, make money, and have a good time but that she'd return down the line.

[Fade]

She don’t wanna be saved, don’t save her

Sorry, Tiffy.

[Final Countdown Jones]

Cutting through any sort of political, vague, "Maybe one day but right now I have big things coming up that I'm focused on" stuff to just make her intentions clear doesn't give me the ultimatest hopes for the run she's about to go on.

[Deleted]

She was never going to end her career anywhere else but WWE so she is taking this oppurtunity to basically knock off a bunch of bucket list items and get paid as much as she can.

[PKO]

Yeah, I mean this seemed obvious to me and it doesn’t speak negatively to wherever she may go before that.
