Dave Meltzer from F4WOnline.com commented on Mercedes' choice to join AEW over a return to WWE, attributing it to her desire for a higher salary than WWE's proposal.

Meltzer revealed that AEW's President, Tony Khan, presented Mercedes with a significantly generous offer, though it didn't reach the rumored annual $5 million.

Meltzer further added, “One WWE woman star noted to us that they were hearing that the number was enough to make her the highest paid woman in pro wrestling and that they were thrilled at AEW for making the offer and happy for her to have accepted it, because in the long run it means it’s a better market for the top women wrestlers, noting, ‘I think it sets a standard that woman should be paid, too.
