Read Time:1 Minute, 48 Second

The hottest story in pro wrestling right now is the free agency of Mercedes Moné. The future of the former world champion has opened the floodgates of speculation regarding her future. Especially with the WWE Royal Rumble near and reports indicating that AEW is also a frontrunner to land her signature.

Moné’s free agency is somewhat similar to that of Kylian Mbappe. For those not familiar with the story, Kylian Mbappe is one of the best footballers in the world. Every summer, there’s speculation regarding his future and if he’s finally making the move to another club. You can see how the drama and interest from fans of both pro wrestling and football compare in this situation.

Going back to Mercedes, there’s a key difference between her and Mbappe. The fact that she bet on herself leaving WWE and it’s paying off, this is something Mbappe can’t really say about himself at the moment. Mercedes Moné has gathered tons of interest regarding her future and how she could be the game-changing signing several promotions need. Especially for AEW, as there have been many opinions on the booking and progression of their women’s division.

The return of Mercedes feels like a big moment in pro wrestling waiting to happen. But we can’t ignore the potential return to WWE just yet… As mentioned before, WWE is in Royal Rumble season, and one step closer to the beginning to the Road to WrestleMania. Moné back in WWE would be a great addition for them, and would allow WWE to sign a major free agent after they fell short this last year on signing big names like Will Ospreay and Jay White. The latest reports however, indicate that Mercedes and WWE are nowhere near reaching a deal.

The speculation regarding her future will increase the longer her return takes. Fans will drive themselves nuts thinking about it, which is similar to Real Madrid supporters and Mbappe’s situation. One thing is for sure, Mercedes Moné controls her destiny and where she lands could help her next employer, big time.
