WWE fans were left disheartened when Sasha Banks, known as Mercedes Mone, bid farewell to the Stamford-based promotion due to creative differences. Speculation about her potential move to AEW, WWE’s rival, emerged, but recent updates hint at a positive turn in her WWE return.
Optimistic Reports on Sasha Banks’s Return
Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select provides encouraging insights into Banks’s potential return to WWE. Sapp believes that the likelihood of her return has significantly increased compared to a few months ago. While there were earlier talks of AEW and Banks collaborating on a plan for her transition, recent reports suggest a lack of progress, pointing towards a probable return to WWE.
Banks’s last appearance dates back to the May 16, 2022, episode of Monday Night Raw, where she and Naomi walked out due to creative disagreements. There have been ongoing discussions between Banks, Naomi, and Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque since his assumption of the role of Chief Content Officer within the company.
Triple H’s Role in the Comeback
Although an official announcement on Sasha Banks’s return is pending, Triple H might have initiated the groundwork since Crown Jewel in 2023.
Potential Scenario for Sasha Banks’s Return
The shocking return of Kairi Sane, Iyo Sky’s former tag team partner, at the 2023 Crown Jewel event sparked intrigue among fans. Considering the history Bayley shares with Sane, including their Raw rivalry, the stage was set for a compelling storyline. As Asuka also joined forces with Damage CTRL, the dynamics of the women’s division shifted.
On the November 10 episode of SmackDown, Asuka turned against Charlotte Flair, Bianca Belair, and Shotzi, aligning with the heel stable. Subsequently, Bayley found herself under constant threat within the faction. In later episodes, fans noticed a shift in dynamics, with Bayley left out on multiple occasions. Dakota Kai, fluent in Japanese due to her time in Japan-based indie circuits, communicated with other stable members, while Bayley appeared isolated.

Fans are sensing a potential betrayal and upheaval within the faction. There are hints that Kairi Sane, Asuka, and Iyo Sky might turn against Bayley, creating an opening for Sasha Banks’s dramatic return to save her former ally. While speculation and clues abound, only time will reveal when fans can witness the much-anticipated return of Sasha Banks to the WWE stage.
