Powell’s POV: Yes, this was Tony Khan’s latest big announcement. All signs point to the company taking the same approach for the Mercedes Mone (f/k/a Sasha Banks) debut that they took for CM Punk’s first appearance in AEW by not officially advertising her by name.
Why the sarcasm? He basically just announced the signing of the biggest free agent in wrestling and confirmed a huge show in Boston with tickets going on sale. I’d say that’s a big announcement by anyone’s standards. Will he do the same for kamille and Okada? Big respect for Mercedes. She always wants to challenge herself and get out of her comfort zone. The other horse woman have fought eachother in their comfort zone for how many years? And they’ll continue to do so in their comfort zone. Mercedes bet on herself and whilst the money will be good … the E would have paid similar. She wants to create something, build something and I applaud that. Roll on March 13th.
She’s not a big free agent. She’s a secondary name from a time when WWE business was literally at its bottom, and she’s done nothing in wrestling since then that mattered outside of the tiny audience that’s already watching AEW.
She’s nowhere near the name Edge was coming in and he hasn’t made a single bit of difference to their business. This will get the same Twatter Bots to lose their minds and pretend it matters, and within 6 weeks she’ll be completely forgotten as they tease the next “big signing” that won’t make a bit of difference.
