Mercedes Moné was going to return to WWE at WrestleMania 39 before Tony Khan invited her to AEW All In.
In the latest edition of her Moné Mag newsletter, AEW‘s Mercedes Moné revealed that she wanted to be at WWE WrestleMania 39. This would have been several months after the former Sasha Banks walked out of WWE in May 2022.
“The funny thing is that before last year’s All In, I attended an LA Rams game at the new Sofi stadium in LA,” she wrote. “Kev and I were, of course, on the field for it – that’s just how we roll. It was fun, but in the back of my head, I kept thinking, ‘This is where WrestleMania is going to be.’ It’s an enormous, beautiful stadium in the tinsel town, the city of Angels. How could Snoop’s first cousin and a member of the Mandalorian cast NOT be here? Thus, at the end of the game, I leaned over to Kev and said, “I need to be here for Mania.” And at that time, that’s truly how I felt and what my plan was.
Moné continued by revealing that she planned on returning to WWE at WrestleMania 39 before Tony Khan invited her to AEW All In at Wembley Stadium.
“I had planned on returning to WWE for WrestleMania in LA,” she wrote. “That was, of course, before Tony invited us to see the show. Mind you, there were no discussions of signing with AEW. Zero. Tony, Kev. and I had texted as friends, but it was just a casual invite. I wanted to go not out of curiosity or to kick the tires but honestly because I love wrestling. To this day, when I have the time, I still watch the Indy shows. I really continue to have that much passion for it.”
Moné went on to sign with AEW, and she debuted at AEW Dynamite: Big Business in March.
