As Social Media Silence Continues, Mercedes Mone aka Sasha Banks’ Wrestling Future Indicates a Return to US Soil, but Which Company?

After parting ways with WWE last year, Sasha Banks went on a quest to conquer the East. Just within a month after her arrival in NJPW, she captured the women’s gold. She was looking forward to adding another accolade under her belt, but destiny had some other plans for her.

On May 21, she fractured her ankle while fighting in a match against Willow Nightingale for the NJPW Strong Women’s Championship at Resurgence. As of now, she is out of action because of her injury. Amid her in-ring absence, the rumor mill has churned up a fresh piece of news stating that she might return to US soil soon.

Sasha Banks rumored to join AEW

It’s been a while since ‘The CEO’ posted anything on her social media accounts. The last she was active on social media was when she declared that her injury is not going to stop her from chasing her dream. She promised to have a speedy recovery and return as soon as possible for her beloved fans.

With the AEW and NJPW crossover show, Forbidden Door, just around the corner, she is one of the top picks to feature during the event. As per Sports Illustrated, “there were significant discussions” of Tony Khan bringing her to AEW. However, her injury derailed any potential plans.

As of now, it is highly unlikely that she will compete at the June 25 crossover event because of her ankle injury. But given her worldwide stardom, it is possible that AEW might approach her after she recovers from the injury. This will be tremendous news for US and AEW fans if it happens.

However, there is one person who will not be happy to have her in the Jacksonville-based promotion.

Tony Strom threatened Banks

At AEW Double or Nothing Media Scrum, AEW star Toni Storm warned Banks not to step foot in AEW. She threatened to break her other foot if she decides to venture into her territory.

She made this repulsive comment after someone asked her whether she would live to have the former WWE star in her faction (The Outcasts) or compete with her at some point in the future.

Storm is currently the AEW Women’s World Champion. She may see Banks as a potential threat to her title reigns if the latter joins the company. This might be one of the reasons for her aversion to the injured female star.
