Megan Thee Stallion and Mercedes Moné’s Potential AEW Collaboration Derailed by WWE Deal

At one point, fans were buzzing with excitement over the possibility of a high-profile partnership between rapper Megan Thee Stallion and wrestling star Mercedes Moné (formerly Sasha Banks). The two had met in February at the Crunchyroll Anime Awards in Japan, where discussions about a potential collaboration began between Megan’s manager, Mike B of Roc Nation, and Moné’s manager, Keven Undergaro.

According to reports, negotiations progressed smoothly, and both sides had agreed to explore a project together, likely involving an appearance by Megan in All Elite Wrestling (AEW). Moné even hinted at the collaboration during the promotional buildup for AEW All In London, saying she hoped to see Megan in the AEW ring.

However, the seeds of this partnership were sown even earlier. Back in 2021, there were informal talks about a similar venture in WWE, where Moné achieved stardom as Sasha Banks. Those plans, however, never materialized.

Tensions escalated after Moné went public with the AEW idea. Shortly afterward, WWE made its own move by securing a deal for Megan Thee Stallion’s song “Neva Play” to be featured on SmackDown. According to PWInsider, this development blindsided Moné and her team, who had been working on their AEW plans. The sudden WWE deal threw the AEW collaboration into question and cast doubt on the future of the Moné-Stallion alliance.

Whether or not this means the end of a potential partnership between the two remains unclear. However, the WWE agreement certainly seems to have complicated things, leaving fans to wonder what could have been in the world of wrestling and music entertainment.
