Mercedes Mone and Naomi made headlines when they walked out of WWE in 2022, and they were promptly suspended. Only The Glow has returned after they were both granted their releases. Mone is having the time of her life as a double champion in AEW, a role that she fit into well. At this point, she’s not sure that a WWE return is in the cards.
Mercedes Mone recently addressed the possibility of returning to WWE, following up on her previous comments. Before making her AEW debut in March, the former Sasha Banks had expressed that she believed she might return to WWE one day.
However, Mone has since shifted her perspective, stating she is now less certain about a WWE return, as her current relationship with AEW is strong.
When asked on the Breakfast Club about the possibility of going back to WWE, Mone said AEW has treated her very well, and she doesn’t currently see herself leaving Tony Khan’s company to return to WWE.
“After the way that AEW has been treating me, I don’t know. I don’t think so. I feel like I have the best relationship with AEW right now, and it’s legit, I’m living my dreams and it’s the best place I’ve ever been mentally and physically.
“To be able to have new dreams after being in the industry for 14 years, it’s the best feeling in the world, so AEW is my home right now.”
WWE was reportedly speaking to Mercedes Mone about a comeback, but AEW was able to get her to sign the deal. Although specifics of the contract have not been confirmed, it must be a lucrative situation for the CEO. After all, she has her own special treatment backstage, like a private dressing room.
Mercedes Mone brought a lot of attention to herself when she finally debuted for AEW. Some fans were sad that they didn’t get to see Sasha Banks return to WWE, and Bayley was one of those people as well. That being said, Bayley and Mone are still close friends. Only time will tell what the road holds for everyone involved.
