As of late, Sasha Banks has been in the headlines as she is expected to be at NJPW’s Wrestle Kingdom 17 event in January and will reportedly be working more dates for the promotion in 2023 after her WWE contract expires month.
There has been a lot of speculation that she could be AEW-bound as the promotion has a working relationship with NJPW.
The speculation also comes after the December 7 AEW Dynamite episode, where it was announced that Britt Baker and Jamie Hayter would team up to take on Saraya and a partner of her choosing on the January 11 edition of AEW Dynamite.
While doing an interview with Forbes, Saraya commented on the rumors.
“I feel like anytime there’s a mystery, everyone always goes straight for Mercedes (laughs). They’re like—straight away—it’s her! There’s plenty of women out there, I’m not going to say yes or no to anybody, but there’s a lot of exciting prospects for a potential tag partner.”
Saraya continued, “I’ve always said that I would want to work with Sasha again in any capacity, because she’s a pro. In the wrestling side of things, she’s such a fantastic athlete, you can’t deny her talent. She’s fantastic.”
Saraya worked her first match since 2017 last month at AEW Full Gear when she defeated Baker.
