In her newsletter, AEW star Mercedes Mone (formerly Sasha Banks) revealed that she originally had planned to make a WWE return at Wrestlemania 39 in LA…. “The funny thing is that before last year’s All In, I attended an LA Rams game at the new Sofi stadium in LA. Kev and I were, of course, on the field for it – that’s just how we roll. It was fun, but in the back of my head, I kept thinking, ‘This is where WrestleMania is going to be.’ It’s an enormous, beautiful stadium in the tinsel town, the city of Angels. How could Snoop’s first cousin and a member of the Mandalorian cast NOT be here? Thus, at the end of the game, I leaned over to Kev and said, ‘I need to be here for Mania.’ And at that time, that’s truly how I felt and what my plan was.

Recently, there has been a lot of talk online regarding Ricky Stark’s future, with him not having been featured on AEW television since March.
