Mercedes Moné’s next landing could be revealed very soon.
Fightful Select reported last week that Mercedes Moné’s discussions with WWE over a potential return had broken down after the two sides were far apart on terms, and it now appears as though that left the door open for AEW to reenter negotiations.
In a new report, Fightful Select revealed that Mercedes’ conversations with All Elite Wrestling have continued, with those in the industry of the belief that AEW is her likely landing spot. Additionally, one source told Fightful that they heard the two sides were close to agreeing terms, although they noted that nothing is official under she’s signed on the dotted line.

just a month after it looked like the two sides couldn’t come to terms. Beyond that, those in the industry we’ve spoken to say that All Elite Wrestling is the likely landing point. Those that we’ve spoken to expect her to land in All Elite Wrestling, though nobody could confirm she’s signed on the dotted line. Of late in both WWE and AEW, there have been instances – specifically with Will Ospreay and CM Punk – where the physical contracts were not signed until the day of their appearances with AEW and WWE respectively. One source claimed that they heard AEW and Mercedes were close to agreeing on terms, but said “it’s never official until it’s official.””
The report then adds that Mercedes was believed to be seeking one of the largest contracts in women’s wrestling history, and thus, it’ll be interesting to see what each company were willing to offer when it’s all said and done.
To close, Fightful noted that WWE sources claimed that Mercedes is not the “former WWE Champion” rumoured to appear the RAW Day 1 show tonight, with the current frontrunner seeming to be The Rock.
As always, we’ll aim to provide any further updates on the future of Mercedes Moné as soon as we hear more.
