Its no secret that rap superstar Megan Thee Stallion has been on the radar of the professional wrestling world.
Mojo Rawley recently confirmed that Megan was slated to appear at WWE SummerSlam in the past, with plans to have her involved in a segment with Mercedes Mon, who was performing as Sasha Banks in WWE at the time. Although the appearance didnt happen, fans have been left wondering what could have been.
Fast forward to August 2024, Mercedes Mon, now the reigning AEW TBS Champion and NJPW Strong Womens Champion, expressed her excitement about the possibility of working with Megan Thee Stallion in an AEW ring. In a recent interview, Mon teased the idea, saying, I want to see her in an AEW ring, sparking a wave of speculation.
Meanwhile, WWE recently announced that Megans hit track Neva Play, featuring RM of BTS, would be the new theme for SmackDown as the show moved to USA Network on September 13th. This only fueled more intrigue, with fans eager to see if Megan would be involved in the world of wrestling in some capacity.
In the latest edition of Mon Mag, Mercedes offered more details about her conversations with Megan and the attempts to bring her into the wrestling fold. She reflected on how close the two came to collaborating, giving insight into behind-the-scenes talks.

Mercedes Mon has continued to shine as one of wrestlings biggest stars, recently defending her AEW TBS Title against Hikaru Shida at AEW All Out. Whether or not Megan Thee Stallion ever steps into an AEW ring, Mons influence on both the wrestling and pop culture worlds is undeniable.
