Mercedes Moné’s Imminent Return to AEW: What’s Next for “The CEO”?
Mercedes Moné, formerly Sasha Banks in WWE, is gearing up for a return to All Elite Wrestling (AEW) potentially as soon as next week. After a hiatus following a TBS Championship celebration that included an on-screen incident with cake thrown by Willow Nightingale, Moné has been hinting at her comeback.
Mone Madness Tour and AEW Dynamite Alignment
Currently on her “Mone Madness Tour” across Europe and Mexico, Moné recently announced her return timeframe during an appearance on Italian TV station IL61. She specifically mentioned Winnipeg as a key location, as she is scheduled to defend the WPW Women’s title at WPW Fight at the Museum on March 31st. AEW Dynamite is scheduled to be held in Winnipeg the following night.
“I’m returning (to AEW) really, really soon. But right now, I am on my Mone Madness Tour all over Europe… After that, Mama is gonna return home,” Moné stated.
A Recent String of Title Losses
Interestingly, Moné’s tour has seen her lose five consecutive title matches, currently holding five indie titles but experiencing a downturn in championship success. This losing streak adds an intriguing dynamic to her return, potentially setting the stage for a storyline focused on regaining momentum.
The TBS Championship Landscape
Moné’s previous reign as TBS Champion lasted 584 days, a record for the title. She initially defeated Willow Nightingale for the championship at AEW Double or Nothing 2024, defending it 24 times before losing the title back to Nightingale on the final AEW Dynamite of 2025. Nightingale is now also one-half of the Women’s Tag Team Champions with Harley Quinn.
What Could a Moné Return Indicate for AEW’s Women’s Division?
Moné’s return injects significant star power into AEW’s women’s division. Her presence immediately elevates any feud and provides a compelling draw for fans. Given her recent losses on the independent circuit, a storyline focusing on reclaiming her dominance could be a natural progression.
