Days have passed since Naomi got her way back to her old wrestling house, WWE, through a phenomenal Royal Rumble segment. But we can’t foresee the same thing for her best friend cum former tag teammate, Mercedes Mone aka Sasha Banks. Rather, her highly rumored AEW debut seemed to loom large with Tony Khan’s latest tease.
It’s not foregone for Khan to take the former WWE bigwigs in his court, but Sasha Banks’ potential signing was something that has been running in the rumor mill for a while now. Finally, he made it almost clear that Mone’s AEW arrival during the next ‘Big’ event in the house is just a matter of time now.

Khan sparked the speculation first by announcing a tag team match for the January 11, episode of Dynamite in Los Angeles featuring Saraya and a Mystery Partner vs. Britt Baker and AEW Women’s World Champion Jamie Hayter. The fact that he announced an ordinary tag team five months ahead spoke about the potential of something special occurring in the match. While fans largely expected Sasha Banks to be Saraya’s Mystery partner, they were left disappointed at the end.
