“I Will Be Very Active in the Market…”: Tony Khan Shows Interest in Mercedes Moné’s Free Agent Status Days After Reports of No WWE Deal

The return of Mercedes Mone (fka Sasha Banks) to the WWE has certainly been a hot topic of discussion in the latest buzz. The fans want to see the former WWE women’s champion back in the Stamford-based promotion. However, recently, it was reported that talks between Mone and WWE over a contract had fallen through.

This means disappointment for the WWE, but the AEW head honcho will feel hopeful after the update. Well, Mone’s free agent status has sparked the attention of Tony Khan, as he revealed his notions on the same in AEW’s recent media scrum. So what did he say? Let’s find out.

Tony Khan could be interested in targeting Mercedes Mone

In the post-event conference tonight, AEW boss Tony Khan was asked about some free agents in the wrestling circuit by a journalist. Moreover, the name of Deonna Purrazzo and Mercedes Mone was also included in the list of free agents he could be pursuing. Khan addressed it by hinting at his approach in the free agent market.

He said “I would say that you just named some great wrestlers. I will be very active in the market signing great wrestlers.” His statements make it evident that he wants to bid for Mone in the future. Now that she is not in talks to re-enter the WWE, it has become a matter of utter intrigue if the AEW will sign the former WWE champion.

WWE is longer in talks with Mercedes Mone

The prospects of Mercedes Mone (fka Sasha Banks) were certainly a big deal for all the wrestling enthusiasts around the globe. They wanted to know if she would make a comeback in the WWE after a months-long hiatus due to an injury. However, Fightful recently cleared the air around her comeback and reported that she is no longer in talks and is expected to appear elsewhere.

The bargain bash no longer exists, and the two ultimately failed to lock up the deal. This was informed to Fightful via  WWE sources. It is also noted that Mone could appear somewhere else but this has not been confirmed thus far. FYI, her contract with the WWE suddenly came to an end when she and Trinity (Naomi) walked out of the company due to some creative differences. On one hand, Trinity became a part of Impact Wrestling whereas Mone wrestled a few of the matches in NJPW until she sustained an ankle injury and was out of action for a while.
