WWE Royal Rumble 2024 is just a few weeks away. The reverse countdown to the premium live event has started, and there is just one big question in the minds of the pro wrestling fans – Will Sasha Banks return to WWE?
Sasha Banks was one of the top female Superstars of the company from 2016 to 2022. She captured the RAW and SmackDown Women’s Championships multiple times. Also, she won the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships with Bayley and Naomi.
However, in mid-2022, Naomi and Sasha Banks had a fallout with WWE Creative, and they left the company on bad terms. Since then, they have been wrestling under the names of Trinity and Mercedes Mone. While Trinity has joined IMPACT, Mone has been rumored to come back to WWE or join with AEW.

According to a report by Fightful Select, the working plans in AEW for Mercedes Mone are no longer in place. However, at the same time, WWE has not planned a big return for her. She has reportedly asked for a bigger contract than Charlotte Flair. Whichever company offers her the best deal will secure her services in 2024.
Why Sasha Banks will likely return to WWE
If it comes down to a bidding war between the two companies, then WWE can outbid AEW. However, it remains to be seen whether WWE sees that much value in Banks. In the past, WWE did not offer Banks a contract bigger than Becky Lynch. On top of that, she left the company on a bad note.

Still, fans remain optimistic about her return because even CM Punk has come back, and he had the worst fallout with the management. If Sasha Banks agrees for a comeback, the best stage for her return will be WWE Royal Rumble 2024 on January 27. She can even win the Rumble and headline WrestleMania XL.
