In 2021, Fightful reported that WWE tried to get Megan Thee Stallion for an angle. Mojo Rawley confirmed that Meg was going to be part of a past WWE SummerSlam event and doing something with Mercedes Mone (Sasha Banks in WWE).
In August, Mercedes said in an interview that she wanted to get Megan The Stallion in an AEW ring.
When WWE SmackDown moved to USA Network on Friday, September 13th, they used "Neva Play" by Megan and RM of BTS as the new intro.
In her Mone Mag, Mercedes gave more insight into her talks with Megan and WWE using her music for SmackDown.
Meg Thee Stallion & Me
Sports Illustrated and other sources reported on conversations between my advocate Kev, and Meg's manager, Mike B., regarding her and me doing stuff at AEW. It's true. A few weeks ago in an interview, I made the mistake of teasing the idea, which made headlines. More recently, it was announced that Meg would be part of the new Smackdown theme. It could all be a coincidence, of course. But then, they don't call me the blueprint for nothing. In hindsight, I should have kept my mouth shut about it but all you can do is live and learn. I'm flattered and honored in a way, as it proves we are clearly on the right path. While I would have loved to work with Meg and would have loved to see her work with our brand, I'm still happy for her. She's a great person and talent who will get exposure to the vast wrestling audience. Trust in this, AEW and Team Moné have a lot more brewing so it's all good. You all will just have to wait this time to hear about it. ;)
Mercedes is the reigning AEW TBS Champion and NJPW Strong Women's Champion. She successfully defended her AEW TBS Title against Hikaru Shida at AEW All Out.
