After her sour exit from WWE in 2022, Sasha Banks made a successful career in NJPW. But after becoming the IWGP Women’s Champion, rumors about her return started spreading. In the past few months, various sources including Dave Meltzer of WON and PWInsider have reported on her return. While sometimes they claim Sasha Banks to return to WWE, sometimes they are confident in AEW. However, a recent update has added more drama to the fiasco.
I asked a WWE source this weekend who had been working on the Royal Rumble about the possibility of Mercedes Mone showing up.
“Well, we’re not really interested in contract tampering with her, so I doubt it.” was their reply. pic.twitter.com/JLMk1xWHhB

As per the update received, WWE source is confident about Banks’ return to WWE and the transfer will be hampered only if there is evidence of contract tampering. However, it contradicts the rumors about her transfer to AEW courtesy of the hints thrown by Tony Khan. It has convoluted the whole drama further as no one is sure about her appearance.
