Becky Lynch believes ‘the door is always open’ for a stunning Sasha Banks return to WWE.
Now known as Mercedes Mone in AEW, the 34-year-old has been a banner act for Tony Khan’s company, known as a belt collector for all the titles she has amassed from other companies.
She has not been seen in AEW since Janaury 7 and although she only joined the company in 2024, it’s widely believed she only signed a three-year contract.
Would she return to WWE? She walked out of WWE alongside Naomi due to creative differences, but Naomi has since returned to the company and won the world title.
They left under the Vince McMahon regime, but now Triple H is the man in charge.
Charlotte Flair was recently asked who her Mount Rushmore of women’s wrestlers would be and she did not hesitate to pick the Four Horsewomen – herself, Bayley, Lynch and Banks.
When asked on the Cheap Heat podcast about Flair’s comments, Lynch whole heartedly agree.
“Honestly, I can’t disagree. That’s a great answer. We’re a great foursome. Never really aligned altogether, but we did great work. We’re still doing great work. We’re all doing great work.”
Host Pete Rosenberg asked: “Is there some more stuff that needs to be done between the women who were a part of that together?”
Lynch replied: “Well, we’re not all here, and, you know, the door is always open, I think, for Sasha. So I think that that is one of those things that you can always go back to at any time, and it’ll always be fantastic.”
Banks already has a rock solid Hall of Fame career if she retired tomorrow. One has to think she has new opponents to make money with in WWE when she’s ready to return, but she is also known to know her own value.
She is paid well by Khan and has a prominent spot with great influence over her stories in AEW. Would she ever get that in WWE?
Working for Triple H, the man who helped her breakthrough in NXT, is certainly a more appealing prospect than her time under McMahon.
But right now, AEW is trending upwards. Their ratings and live audience numbers are both moving in the right direction thanks to a solid spell of booking.
