There isn’t anything more wholesome than seeing WWE stars at a rival promotion supporting their friend. This is what transpired at AEW Big Business. While Sasha Banks debuted her Mercedes Mone character, WWE’s Bayley and Naomi were there to cheer her on. Anyone who knows about the WWE and AEW knows the fact that the two promotions don’t really get along.

Kevin Nash explains how Triple H could’ve granted permission to Bayley and Naomi to see Mercedes Mone
In the professional wrestling business, it is an unwritten rule nowadays that stars from one promotion should not be seen at the venue of another one. While this rule was strictly enforced during Vince McMahon’s reign, under Triple H, things have been easier. Kevin Nash explained this situation when he talked about his absence at AEW Revolution for Sting’s final match. This gives the audience an idea as to how Bayley and Naomi, while under WWE’s contract attended AEW Big Business for Mone’s debut.

Nash, on his Kliq THIS Podcast, touched up not being there for Sting’s final match despite being very close friends from their WCW days. The WWE legend claimed that people thought Hunter stopped him from being there, which was false. Nash went on to explain that Hunter wouldn’t mind due to the friendship he had with Sting. However, The Icon wanted him to be a part of the match. Nash revealed that his physical limitations prevented him from attending the event. The same applies to Bayley and Naomi, who have years of friendship with Mone. Furthermore, Mone left the WWE due to McMahon, not Hunter, so the two have no animosity between each other.

Bayley and Naomi were never seen on the live footage of the show, and photos of them being there were taken by fans who noticed. Naomi herself posted a video of her, Bayley, and Tamina Snuka getting in disguises to appear at Big Business. Before this, the two attended the Super Bowl with Mone.
