The pro wrestling world has a few interesting free agents, but Mercedes Mone may have already quietly signed a deal with AEW. It was previously reported that some within the company believe a deal is done. It is all about waiting for the right time to make the big announcement.
Mercedes Mone\'s Next Move
Tony Khan has an announcement planned for next week\'s AEW Dynamite. Many are under the assumption that he will reveal a big signing, possibly Mone.
Mercedes Mone and WWE were reportedly discussing a deal, but they ran into a financial roadblock. Now, all signs point to the former Sasha Banks debuting for AEW.
Dave Meltzer noted in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that AEW actually planned to drop their first tease for Mercedes Mone\'s debut this week. That was pushed back due to the Vince McMahon news that dominated the news cycle.
The plan is to make a big deal out of Mercedes Mone debut. At one point the plan was to announce it this past weekend, or at least tease it, but it was moved back. The reason given was not wanting to announce it this week given all the far bigger news that came out and that people wouldn’t be focusing on it at all
What\'s Next
AEW has one chance to debut Mercedes Mone, and they want to make it count. She could do a lot of good for Tony Khan\'s company, but they need to make sure that everything is considered before making that first big move.
It will be interesting to see how AEW inserts Mone into their women\'s division. Currently, Toni Storm and Deonna Purrazzo are engaged in a feud for their Women\'s World Title.
SE Scoops will have more updates on Mercedes Mone\'s status with AEW. It appears that she is on her way, but Tony Khan needed to change his plan a bit due to the current circumstances.
