Could Sasha Banks be heading back to WWE!?

Rumors are a significant part of the wrestling industry's lifeblood. Often, they can add an intriguing layer of speculation to the already drama-filled world of the ring. Recently, a rumor involving Sasha Banks, a renowned former WWE superstar, has stirred quite a commotion.

Sasha, known in the New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) scene as Mercedes Mone, has been the center of attention recently. The cause of this heightened attention? A rumored promise made to her former employer, WWE​​.

The Details of the Promise

According to a report from the Twitter account @BlackMaskofPW (via FightFans), Sasha Banks allegedly made a promise to WWE. The superstar, who is currently free to sign with any wrestling organization after her stint in Japan, supposedly assured the WWE of her return following her NJPW run.​

The details of the promise are not to be taken lightly. If Sasha were to sign with any organization other than WWE, it would apparently be considered a "betrayal of trust." Both parties had reportedly agreed that she would "return to WWE after she had completed her run in NJPW​."

The Impact of the Rumoured Promise

Such a promise, if true, holds significant implications for both Sasha Banks and the WWE. The return of Mercedes Mone, a prominent and popular figure in the wrestling world, to WWE would be a considerable boost to the organization. Mainly as it would attract scores of fans and potentially alter the dynamics of the women's division.

However, it's important to remember that at this stage, this information remains unconfirmed and should be treated as speculation. The wrestling world is no stranger to false rumors and misleading reports, and this could very well be another instance of unfounded gossip​.

Sasha Banks Back To WWE? Awaiting Confirmation

As it stands, the validity of these rumors is yet to be established. The wrestling community and fans alike are waiting with bated breath to see if there's any truth behind the alleged promise. If proven true, this would indeed be a massive development for Sasha Banks, a.k.a. Mercedes Mone, and her future in professional wrestling​.

For now, we can only watch, wait, and speculate. The coming days may bring more information about this situation, and hopefully, a confirmation or denial of these compelling rumors. Whether Sasha Banks will return to the WWE or venture elsewhere in the wrestling world remains a captivating mystery​.
