Sasha Banks aka Mercedes Mone was the talk of town for several months as to where will she debut. Reports indicated that both WWE and AEW sought to sign her for months. However, negotiations with Tony Khan’s company took the lead after Mercedes Mone and WWE reportedly couldn’t agree on a new contract. Tony Khan’s latest big announcement has officially named the March 13 episode of “AEW Dynamite” as “Big Business.”

Now a tweet from Sasha Banks in 2023, stating “BOSSTON 💙,” has ignited excitement among fans. Mercedes Mone’s return to wrestling has been a hot topic, with tonight’s AEW Dynamite edition clarifying matters. This further caused her tweet to trend after the announcement.

At the time of writing the tweet has 345.7k views and has a repost of 1.2k so far with 7.5k likes

Reports from Fightful and Andrew Zarian of “Mat Men Radio” confirm that Mone, formerly Sasha Banks in WWE, has been under contract with AEW since at least early January. The debut date, in conjunction with Mone’s hometown of Boston, was finalized weeks ago.

Since Sasha Banks was born and raised in Boston, the posting of the Dynamite in Boston on Ticketmaster earlier in the day caused quite a stir. Khan’s statement, which included a graphic that said “BO$$TON,” only served to heighten the guesswork. A dollar symbol was ingeniously inserted where the first ‘S’ in ‘Business’ would normally go, drawing a comparison to the ‘Bo$$’ trick used by banks.

Mercedes was not explicitly named, but her involvement is indicated given the circumstances. As if that weren’t enough, Khan dropped hints that Big Bu$iness will be an unforgettable evening for AEW and the entire professional wrestling business.
