Sasha Banks, also known as Mercedes Monè, has reportedly thrown down a huge demand for her return to WWE. Banks left the company in May 2022 alongside Naomi, protesting Vince McMahon’s booking decisions. Since then, Sasha Banks, aka Mercedes Monè, has made a splash in the wrestling world. She made her debut at the NJPW WrestleKingdom 17 earlier this year, and a few weeks later, she claimed the IWGP Women’s Championship in the Japanese promotion.
Rumors of Sasha Banks’ return to WWE have intensified in recent weeks, especially after Charlotte Flair signed a new WWE contract extension, making her the highest-paid women’s wrestler in the promotion. It appears that the former WWE Superstar Sasha Banks is seeking an even greater deal than The Queen.
According to reports shared on Fightful’s The Hump, insiders in the wrestling industry assert that Mercedes Monè, fka Sasha Banks, requested WWE contract value exceeds the amount of Charlotte Flair’s recent deal. Sean Ross Sapp confirmed this insight on his X (formerly Twitter).
Check out his tweet below:
While Banks’ return remains uncertain, it’s important to note that she has been inactive since May due to an injury sustained in a match against Willow Nightingale at NJPW Resurgence.
Is former WWE Superstar Sasha Banks headed to AEW?
A recent report suggests that initial discussions for a collaboration between AEW and the former WWE Superstar Sasha Banks were in progress around All In, where she was in attendance at Wembley Stadium. But, a few days ago, reports suggested that these plans were inactive, with both AEW and Sasha Banks disagreeing on various terms, although the report doesn’t specify which terms. However, the door isn’t completely closed between Banks and AEW.
Fans are anticipating whether a potential crossover between the two parties is still a possibility or if Banks is considering the option of returning to WWE under the leadership of Triple H.
