Mercedes Moné last competed at NJPW STRONG Resurgence when she suffered an ankle injury during a match for the inaugural NJPW STRONG Women’s Championship against Willow Nightingale. While that halted the former Sasha Banks‘ post-WWE momentum, she hasn’t been totally absent from pro wrestling.
The camera cut to Moné sitting in a suite multiple times during All In London, unofficially making her first AEW appearance. However, she hasn’t been seen since then and hasn’t been announced as an AEW roster member.
Moné’s debut in AEW appears inevitable, and her appearance at All In probably wasn’t coincidental, so it could be a matter of time before she arrives in a grand way like Adam Copeland, formerly known as Edge, did at WrestleDream.
Might she follow suit as soon as Full Gear, though? According to Moné on a recent Instagram Live stream, she’s open if her schedule permits.

Moné won’t spoil whether she’ll appear at Full Gear or not, which isn’t surprising.
Nonetheless, speculation will build with Full Gear six weeks away. Will she be healthy from her ankle injury? If so, and she officially signs with AEW, her appearance at Full Gear would be a major boost, just like Copeland’s was, and would create another unforgettable moment with an accompanying raucous reaction.
Fans will await to see if Moné becomes All Elite when Full Gear comes around on Sunday, Nov. 18 in Inglewood, California, with a main event featuring MJF vs. Jay White for the AEW World Championship.
