Mercedes Moné's AEW Signing Seemingly Confirmed By WWE

The status of free agent Mercedes Mone has been one of the biggest talking points in professional wrestling over the last few months, with hints here and there of her potentially returning to WWE and others suggesting a move to AEW is more likely.

More definitive reports in recent weeks have made it appear that an AEW signature is imminent, and a recent source from WWE per a report from Fightful Select may have even spoiled the fact that Mone and AEW have made an agreement with one another.

With the Royal Rumble drawing nearer, speculation was obviously going to arise around the possibility of Mone returning as a surprise in the match, so it is noted in the report that Fighftul reached out to a WWE source to assess the chances of Mone being in attendance. The response from one source said, “Well, we’re not really interested in contract tampering with her, so I doubt it”.

This seems to suggest that Mone is already tied down to a contract or some sort of deal, with AEW being the most logical answer.
