Replies ranged from jubilant celebrations to speculation about timing and opponents. The post gave no date, but the timing—right before a major AEW event—heightened interest.
Where Mercedes Moné left off in AEW
Moné’s last AEW appearance came at the end of 2025. She competed on the New Year’s Smash edition of Dynamite on Dec. 31, 2025.
- That night she lost the TBS Championship to Willow Nightingale.
- The defeat ended a remarkable reign that lasted 584 days.
Since then, she has not been featured on AEW television. Fans and pundits have watched her social channels closely for any sign of a comeback.
Recent activity across the wrestling landscape
After dropping the TBS title, Moné has appeared for other promotions. Reports note she has lost several regional and independent titles in those appearances.
- Bestya Women’s Title
- PTW Women’s Title
- WPW Women’s Title
These bookings have kept her visible, but none have answered the central question: when will she be back on AEW programming?
Career highlights: From WWE to AEW and beyond
Before adopting the Mercedes Moné name on the independents and AEW scene, she was widely known as Sasha Banks in WWE.
- Six world championship reigns on the WWE main roster.
- Three Women’s Tag Team Championship runs.
- Walkout from WWE in 2022, followed by stints in NJPW and Stardom.
Her AEW debut arrived in early 2024 after she hinted at signing while appearing at All In as a fan. She debuted on Dynamite on Mar. 13, 2024, and captured the TBS Championship at Double or Nothing that May.
What a return could mean for AEW’s women’s division
A reappearance by Moné would shift the division’s dynamics. She brings star power, name recognition, and a history with top-tier talent.
Possible implications
- Fresh rivalries for current champions.
- Ratings and social engagement boost for AEW events.
- Creative opportunities around her character and history.
Promoters and fans alike will be watching AEW programming and Moné’s social feeds for the next sign that her comeback is official.
