Mercedes Mone, previously known as Sasha Banks, has been out of action since sustaining an ankle injury at the NJPW Resurgence event on May 21st. Recently, she shared a training video, sparking rumors about her imminent return to wrestling.

Speculation about her future has been rife, with some fans predicting a move to AEW, especially after her appearance at All In at Wembley Stadium. However, Dave Meltzer, speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, suggested that a WWE comeback shouldn't be dismissed, particularly if she hasn't inked a deal with AEW.

Meltzer observed, "I have always thought it’s interesting that she hasn’t signed there [with AEW]. And until she does, I keep thinking that she doesn’t want to make the commitment not to go back to WWE."

He added, "She’s not ready yet … even if she has signed a deal, there’s really no point in announcing it right now. They just announced Will Ospreay. It would be better for her to debut as a surprise than them announce she has a deal. So her not being announced as having signed a deal, to me doesn’t necessarily mean anything. But if she legitimately hasn’t signed, then I could see her going back to WWE easily. Especially right now."
