What Did Mercedes Mone Say About Returning to WWE?

Mercedes Mone is all set to have her first match since leaving WWE. She will face fellow former WWE star Kairi for the IWGP Women’s Match in the ongoing Battle in the Valley event. Mone was known as Sasha Banks during her time at Stamford. She was part of the four Horsewomen and was positioned as one of the top stars in the company. However, the WWE and she had several differences, both creative and financial. This eventually led to them parting ways with each other. Mone is now a NJPW talent, but what are her thoughts on returning to the WWE one day in the future?

What did Mercedes Mone say about returning to WWE?

During a recent conversation with Marc Raimondi of ESPN, Mercedes Mone was asked if she would return to the WWE someday. She said:

“I guess people like to say ‘never say never.’’ You never know in life. I never knew life would take me here, but I always follow my heart so wherever my heart takes me is where I’m going to go.”

She was then asked if the probability of facing UFC goat Amanda Nunes was higher than returning to the WWE, and the NJPW star clarified that it was the same.
