The Buzz Surrounding AEW Dynamite
The world of professional wrestling is abuzz with chatter, as fans anticipate the next big move from All Elite Wrestling (AEW). Central to this fervor is the potential arrival of Mercedes Mone, better known to many as Sasha Banks from her WWE days.
AEW Dynamite’s upcoming edition, titled Dynamite: Title Tuesday, promises to be an electrifying experience. Scheduled to air head-to-head against WWE’s NXT, the card Tony Khan has put together for this special event is brimming with promise. Fans eagerly await Adam Copeland’s much-discussed in-ring debut, Saraya’s defense of her Women’s World Championship, and Jon Moxley’s exhilarating return to the squared circle.
NXT’s Counter Programming
In an attempt to balance the scales, NXT is countering AEW’s explosive lineup with some marquee names of their own. Cody Rhodes is set to make a pivotal announcement, and the WWE Universe is buzzing with the news of John Cena‘s scheduled appearance, marking his inaugural presence on NXT. Furthermore, Asuka is slated to showcase her in-ring prowess.
Given this clash of titans, the wrestling community has been active on social media platforms, debating the potential impact of Mercedes Mone’s rumoured AEW appearance.
“The atmosphere is electric with speculation. Would Mone’s debut on Dynamite be enough to overshadow the allure of Cena’s NXT appearance?”

Mercedes Mone: Post-WWE Journey
Mercedes Mone’s post-WWE trajectory has been noteworthy. Having carved a niche for herself in New Japan Pro-Wrestling, she made headlines during the Resurgence event on May 21. Mone skillfully advanced in the Strong Women’s Championship tournament by overcoming Stephanie Vaquer. But fate had a different plan. Despite reaching the finals, an injury against Willow Nightingale robbed her of a potential win.
Tony Khan, in a recent media call, heaped praise on Mone. He lauded her exceptional talents, emphasizing her significant contributions to the New Japan Pro-Wrestling.
“I think one of the great stars that’s been involved in New Japan Pro-Wrestling, who I have a ton of respect for is Mercedes Mone… she is one of the greatest wrestlers on the planet.” – Tony Khan
Mone at AEW All In
Adding to the swirling rumors was Mone’s appearance at the All In pay-per-view in London’s iconic Wembley Stadium. This appearance only added fuel to the speculative fire regarding her possible involvement in AEW’s future storylines.
Looking Ahead
As the wrestling world keenly awaits the next edition of AEW Dynamite, questions linger. Will Mercedes Mone make her debut? Will Tony Khan leverage her star power to counter WWE’s NXT juggernaut? One thing’s for sure – the world will be watching.
