If true, it will be the best wrestling experience Mercedes ever had. I’d love to see some progression to her in-ring style, especially with Japanese influence. Hopefully this turns out to be more than just a rumor.
This just gives us another big reason to watch Wrestle Kingdom 17.
That card is already SUPER stacked. Here are the advertised matches so far:
Wrestle Kingdom 17 card:
- Jay White vs Kazuchika Okada for the IWGP World Heavyweight title
- KAIRI vs Tam Nakano for the IWGP Women's title (with a potential Sasha Banks interaction/appearance afterwards)
- Will Ospreay vs Kenny Omega for the IWGP United States Heavyweight title
- Taiji Ishimori vs Hiromu Takahashi vs El Desperado vs Master Wato for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight title
- FTR vs winners of World Tag League tournament (most likely Tetsuya Naito/SANADA or Aussie Open) for the IWGP Tag titles
- TJP/Francesco Akira vs winners of Junior Tag League tournament (most likely Lio Rush/YOH or Ace Austin/Chris Bey) for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag titles
- Ren Narita vs Zack Sabre Jr. for the NJPW World Television title
- Shingo Takagi vs Taichi (not advertised yet, but could possibly be added to the card)
Sasha also seems to have these outside projects that she wants to do these days as well.
Wherever she ends up going (if she goes anywhere) it might depend on how willing they will be to let her keep doing this other stuff?
So - reports from twitter is Sasha is booked to appear at NJPW wrestle kingdom and that she is likely Saraya’s partner at the Forum discuss Sasha in AEW bout to be hectic my dream is for Sasha stans vs Cornette stans gonna love this shit man
There's two WK shows so maybe Sasha could face the winner of the IWGP Women's Championship match at the second show later in January? I try to keep up with NJPW as best I can but Wrestle Kingdom is one show I always make sure to watch.
Do not be surprised if Mercedes appears at the Jan 4th WK 17 Part 1 show, works the AEW tag match with Hayter, Britt and Saraya on Jan 11th, works the WK Part 2 show on Jan 21st and then works the Rumble on Jan 29th - I think that's the kind of month she's aiming for anyways.
