For the past month or so, there have been rumblings that Mercedes Mone, AKA Sasha Banks may be returning to WWE.

These rumours have escalated thanks to recent comments from NXT commentator, Booker T.

On the latest edition of his Hall of Fame podcast, the WWE Hall of Famer declared that he believes that the former multi-time WWE Women’s Champion returning is a “done deal”, and Banks will be back in WWE in 2024:

“I’m not a huge New Japan Pro Wrestling viewer. I’m not going to say I’m not a fan because I’ve seen stuff that I do like, and I try to check out the Wrestle Kingdoms every year around this time of year. But yeah, it seems like it’s too long. It seems like she’s been gone too long. I hope she comes back, man. Can you think about all the bad** matches we can see again? And it’s not like she was gone that long ago. I mean, what has it been a year or so, a year and a half or something like that? And you never know…”

“And the thing is, obviously there’s a new regime in town. There’s a different way of thinking in town. Maybe some of the issues that she was not too pleased with before are no longer a factor. It says it on his shirt, Hell froze over and CM Punk came back after ten years. You know what I mean? There’s a lane for Sasha Banks to stash Mercedes Mone, and I’m making a prediction. I’m calling it. She’s back in 2024. In WWE, it’s a done deal in my mind.”

If Banks does indeed return to WWE, it will be interesting to see when and how WWE re-debut her. The most logical place would be at the Royal Rumble next month, as Banks being a surprise entrant in the match would be a sure-fire way to generate buzz, and she will no doubt receive one of the biggest ovations of the entire show.
