Before joining NJPW, she was popular for her stint in WWE under the ring name Sasha Banks.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, AEW <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/aew\/news-she-s-definitely-coming-mercedes-coming-fans-spot-potential-clue-upcoming-aew-show-graphic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">dropped a massive hint<\/a> regarding Mercedes Mon\u00e9\u2019s debut on Dynamite: Big Business. Fans have been constantly buzzing about the event since. While many believe Mercedes Mon\u00e9&#8217;s arrival in AEW is going to be huge, Dave Meltzer predicted otherwise on <em>Wrestling Observer Radio<\/em>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Mercedes, the Boston show, I think is at about 5,700 tickets sold on the first couple of days, which is, obviously for an AEW show, that&#8217;s very good. It&#8217;s not through the roof. I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s gonna be a sellout. It&#8217;s only a couple weeks away actually.&#8221; [1:32 &#8211; 1:58]<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"sportskeeda-embed\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/aew\/youtube\">\n<div class=\"yt-wrapper\"> <noscript><iframe title=\"Okada may be going to AEW | Wrestling Observer Radio\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eQ28T2Wa1To?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript> <\/p>\n<div class=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/aew\/youtube\" data-embed=\"eQ28T2Wa1To\">\n<div class=\"play-button\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" height=\"370\" width=\"660\" data-img=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2024\/02\/4780b-17077412546571-1920.jpg\" data-img-low=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2024\/02\/4780b-17077412546571-1920.jpg\" class=\"lazy-img\" alt=\"youtube-cover\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr\/>\n<h2><strong>What does Dave Meltzer think about Mercedes Mon\u00e9, Will Ospreay, and Kazuchika Okada\u2019s arrival in AEW?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Kazuchika Okada and Will Ospreay are also seemingly heading to AEW along with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/player\/sasha-banks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Mercedes Mon\u00e9<\/a>.
