Update on talks between WWE and Mercedes Mone aka Sasha Banks reportedly falling apart

As previously noted, talks between WWE and Mercedes Mone (Sasha Banks) for a return reportedly fell through. During Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com commented on the situation and discussed the possibility of Mercedes going to AEW…

“She was absolutely talking with WWE. From what I was told, they were far apart on money. There was one person in WWE who said, ‘until she shows up and signs a contract, just remember what happened with Punk.’ I was told that this afternoon, ‘just remember what happened with Punk.’ I was told that by multiple people that they were far apart on money.”

“The other thing with her is she has other thing with her whether it’s acting or other companies she’s involved in that could be an issue. With AEW I think she would have more freedom to act, although WWE would probably give you more freedom now than under Vince because he’s such a controlling person.” (quotes courtesy of RingsideNews.com)
