There have been many stars who have quit or been fired from WWE and went on to prove their worth elsewhere. None have made a bigger impact on the wrestling community like Sasha Banks, who is now known as Mercedes Mone. Her natural charisma and skills on display in Japan are constant reminders for WWE of what they missed out on when she left.
Ever since her time in WWE, Banks has worked well with every wrestler she came against. Fans are always excited to see her do well in the ring. However, a recent injury at NJPW Resurgence has had them concerned. Amid rumors of when she’ll return to the squared circle, news about a potential fight with a big name has everyone talking.
Before her return, Sasha Banks will reportedly compete in a big NJPW match

Even before leaving WWE, fans knew that Banks could deliver the best matches on the roster, but WWE didn’t see that. After getting into NJPW and wrestling top-class female athletes, she has cemented the fans’ trust. But unluckily, Mone met with an injury in her last match at NJPW Resurgence.
Ever since then, Mone has been healing quietly, only giving the fans a strong message about her recovery. But now, reports have come out, detailing who will be the next opponent in The CEO’s path. Having lost the match for the NJPW Strong Women’s Championship before, it seems like Mone will be coming to take the title from the current champion, Giulia.
An exact time line isn’t known for a Mercedes Mone return.
The plan right now is that when she returns, that she will face Giulia for the New Japan Strong title.

If you didn’t know about it already, Giulia is a big name among Joshi wrestlers. Her stiff wrestling style makes for a hard-hitting match that fans won’t get anywhere else. So, it makes sense that the hype for this potential match is through the roof.
Fans are hyped up to see this dream match go down
Even though this match isn’t focusing on American audiences or happening in WWE, AEW, or Impact, fans are over the moon about watching it, if it happens.
Fans took to Twitter to share their excitement.
