Mercedes Mone Headed To AEW, Has Been On Their Payroll For A While

Mercedes Moné, formerly known as Sasha Banks in WWE, has been generating a lot of buzz about a potential debut in AEW. For the majority of her career, Banks was a prominent figure in WWE from 2012 to 2022. However, due to creative issues in 2022, she walked out of WWE and did not return. ## Subsequently, she made her presence felt in NJPW/Stardom at Wrestle Kingdom 17 in January 2023, adopting the ring name Mercedes Moné. Unfortunately, Moné encountered an ankle injury during a match against Nightingale. ## Speculation about her return has been rife, initially suggesting a comeback to WWE. However, recent reports have diverged, indicating that Tony Khan has already secured her services. ## Now, per the latest report from Fightful Select, Mercedes Mone is headed to AEW, and has been on their payroll for a while. ## While there was debate about an earlier announcement or debut, the decision was made to save the reveal for the Boston event. Interestingly, plans for both the February 7th and March 13th shows were finalized weeks before, adding intrigue to the timing. ## Addressing speculation of an earlier New York debut, sources clarified that Moné wasn't fully prepared due to a 2023 injury. This information, corroborated by NJPW sources, confirms she hadn't yet received medical clearance or resumed training despite earlier reports. Notably, NJPW intends to continue exploring potential collaborations with Moné. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Hangman Page vs. Swerve Strickland vs. Samoa Joe Set For AEW Title Set For AEW Revolution

Hangman Page and Swerve Strickland battled it out in a nail-biting number one contender's match on Dynamite, vying for the chance to challenge Samoa Joe for the AEW World Title at Revolution. But after a grueling 30 minutes, neither competitor managed to pin the other, resulting in a controversial draw.## Just as Swerve stood on the brink of victory, landing a two-count after his JML Driver, the clock cruelly ran out. Desperate, he pleaded for a five-minute extension, but Hangman wasn't having it, insisting he hadn't earned the right to be number one contender.## In a surprising twist, Tony Schiavone announced that both men would be number one contenders, forcing Joe to defend his title in a triple-threat showdown at Revolution.## This decision didn't sit well with the champion. Joe fumed, accusing AEW of "celebrating mediocrity" and declaring neither challenger worthy of sharing the ring with him. However, he vowed to maintain his reign at Revolution, promising both challengers a world of hurt. ## Samoa Joe knows the deck is stacked against him at #AEWRevolution, but he has a warning for "Hangman" Adam Page and Swerve Strickland.Watch #AEWDynamite LIVE on TBS!@SamoaJoe pic.twitter.com/c7Mt9A9aE8— All Elite Wrestling (@AEW) February 8, 2024 # Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Ari Emanuel And COO Mark Shapiro Contacted Vince McMahon, Advising Him To Resign

New York Stock Exchange spectacle fades as McMahon departs under cloud of legal troubles. ## Though WWE and UFC's partnership seemed promising last year, their celebratory photo op at the Stock Exchange now feels overshadowed by recent events. ## Ex-employee Janel Grant's lawsuit alleging sexual trafficking and misconduct against Vince McMahon has rocked the wrestling world, leading to his formal resignation from both WWE and its parent company, TKO Holdings. ## McMahon vehemently denies Grant's claims, calling them baseless, but facing pressure from TKO CEO Ari Emanuel and President/COO Mark Shapiro, he stepped down, reportedly to protect the company's interests. ## Meanwhile, troubling revelations keep surfacing. TKO was apparently aware of McMahon's alleged behavior before the merger, and federal authorities are now investigating the lawsuit's claims. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Saraya Makes A Playful Splash In Phoenix Before AEW Dynamite

While in Phoenix for tonight's AEW Dynamite at the Footprint Center, Saraya, who joined AEW in 2022 following her retirement due to spinal stenosis, took a break from the squared circle to have some lighthearted fun on Tuesday night. ## In 2023, Saraya had her first shot at AEW gold during a thrilling triple threat match against Ruby Soho and then-champion Jamie Hayter at Revolution, but ultimately fell short. However, she later found redemption by capturing the Women's Title at All In. ## Her most recent in-ring action came on the January 10th episode of Dynamite, where she teamed with The Outcasts (Ruby Soho & Skye Blue) and Julia Hart, but their alliance fell to Anna Jay, Kris Statlander, Thunder Rosa, and Willow Nightingale.## However, Tuesday night belonged to playful antics. Saraya attended the Suns vs. Milwaukee Bucks game, where she unexpectedly got into a playful tussle with the Suns mascot. In a hilarious display, she delivered a mock suplex onto a crash pad, but the mascot, clearly enjoying the moment, sprung right back up with laughter. To cap off the fun exchange, they even snapped a photo together. ## #AEW's @Saraya and @JustinRoberts are guests of the Phoenix @Suns at tonight's game ahead of TOMORROW's LIVE #AEWDynamite from the @FootprintCNTR!The action starts locally at 5:30pm MT, Get your tickets NOW!Wednesday Night Dynamite airs LIVE on TBS @ 8/7c with an overrun! pic.twitter.com/hklIiP2sur— All Elite Wrestling (@AEW) February 7, 2024 ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...
