Saraya comments on the Sasha Banks rumors.
On the December 7 edition of AEW Dynamite, it was revealed that Britt Baker and Jamie Hayter will team up to take on Saraya and a partner of her choosing on the January🐬 11 edition of AEW Dynamite. Immed✃iately, fans jumped to name Sasha Banks as Saraya's potential partner, given that the match was being promoted nearly a month out, which isn't common for AEW.
The next day, a report came out noting that Sasha Banks was expected to be at NJPW's Wrestle Kingdom 17 even𝓰t in January. This led to more speculation from fans, as NJPW has a working relationship with AEW.
In , Saraya commented on the rumors.
"I feel like anytime there’s a mystery, everyone always goes straight for Mercedes (laughs). They’re like—straight away—it’s her! There’s plenty of women out there, I’m not going to say yes or no to anybody, but there’s a lot of exciting prospects for a potential tag partner.”
Saraya went on to reiterate a past sentiment, 𓆉noting that she would love to have the chance to work w💎ith Banks again in any capacity.
“I’ve always said that I would want to work with Sasha again in any capacity, because she’s a pro. In the wrestling side of things, she’s such a fantastic athlete, you can’t deny her talent. She’s fantastic.”
Just days after the report regarding Banks and NJPW was released, Jay White told Fightful that she would be a great addition to Bullet Club. To learn more, click here.
