Mercedes Mone is currently in attendance at the Wembley Stadium for AEW All In. The former WWE Women’s Champion, who became famous as Sasha Banks in the world’s biggest pro wrestling promotion, walked out of the company last year due to creative issues.
Since then, she has wrestled in New Japan Pro Wrestling and even won titles in Japan. There had been rumors of Mercedes Mone joining AEW. However, she is yet to make an appearance on the shows of WWE’s biggest rival company in the United States.
Mercedes finally made her first appearance on AEW TV when she was spotted in attendance at the Wembley Stadium for tonight’s All In show. Seeing Mercedes on the big screen, fans had a lot of reactions on Twitter. Here are some of the top ones:

It is unclear whether Mercedes will wrestle on AEW or just make guest appearances. There is a lot of history between Mercedes and Saraya. WWE fans would remember that a move from Sasha Banks led to Paige’s retirement. Now, their pro wrestling names are Mercedes Mone and Saraya.
Saraya also works for AEW. Hence, if at all Mercedes debuts in AEW as a wrestler, a lot of fans want her first feud to be against Saraya only.
