Earlier this year, the wrestling world went wild when Mercedes Mone, formerly known as Sasha Banks, made her highly anticipated debut in AEW. Despite not yet realizing his full potential in AEW, Mone is an important player on the roster, commanding a large salary and maintaining his potential on the job.
Even after leaving WWE, Mone relied on the possibility of returning to his former home of wrestling. In a recent interview with Bernard Colas, WWE Women’s Champion Bayley shared her thoughts on Mone’s possible return, and the possibility of facing her at WrestleMania and this revelation sparked excitement among wrestling fans with long dreamed of seeing these two iconic actors meet on the biggest stage of all.
Bayley revealed that she dreams of facing Mone at WrestleMania and is enthusiastic about the possibility of making it happen someday. However, she acknowledged the challenges, given that Mone is currently not under contract with WWE.
“In my dreams, it does happen, but you know, time is ticking, but never say never. I hate saying ‘never say never,’ and everybody says they hate saying ‘never say never,’ but they always say ‘never say never.’ Wrestling is so crazy. I’ve been thinking about that lately, how wild this world is, and I could see it happening someday, you know, if she wants. But it could be 10 years from now, and it could still be special, you know? She said one day is all. Yeah, yeah. So do what you gotta do,” Bayley shared.

This candid reflection from Bayley highlights the unpredictable nature of professional wrestling, where alliances and rivalries can shift dramatically over time. The possibility of a WrestleMania match between Bayley and Mercedes Mone is tantalizing, especially considering their history and chemistry in the ring. Their previous encounters in WWE were highly acclaimed, and a showdown at WrestleMania would undoubtedly elevate their storied friendship and rivalry to new heights.
Mercedes Mone’s tenure in AEW has been marked by high expectations and significant moments, but many believe she has yet to reach her full potential in the new promotion. Her possible return to WWE would not only be a monumental moment for the company but also for the wrestling industry as a whole. It would bring back a beloved star whose charisma and talent have left an indelible mark on the sport.
Bayley, on the other hand, continues to be a cornerstone of WWE’s women’s division. Her reign as WWE Women’s Champion has been impressive, showcasing her skills and solidifying her status as one of the top performers in the industry. A match against Mercedes Mone at WrestleMania would be a career-defining moment.
