Mercedes Moné has strongly hinted her AEW return is right around the corner, revealing it will come once her current international run wraps up.

Speaking on IL61, Moné made it clear she is not far from stepping back into AEW.

“I’m returning really, really soon,” she said. “Right now, I am on my Mone Madness Tour all over Europe. First it started in Mexico, now here in Italy, next stop is Paris, then London, then Poland, then Winnipeg. After that, Mama is gonna return home.”

Her schedule gives a clear clue as to when that comeback could happen. Moné is set to defend the WPW Women’s Championship in Winnipeg on March 31. AEW Dynamite is scheduled to hit the same city the very next night on April 1, making that show the most likely moment for her return.

Moné has been absent from AEW television since dropping the TBS Championship to Willow Nightingale at New Year’s Smash. She briefly resurfaced in a Collision vignette on January 10, warning that her comeback would be about more than just reclaiming gold.

Since then, she has stayed active across Mexico and Europe as part of her “Mone Madness Tour,” stacking up titles across multiple promotions. She currently holds six championships worldwide, including titles in Scotland, Poland, Denmark, Canada, Malaysia, and the 2025 Owen Hart Foundation Championship.

AEW has yet to officially confirm her return, but all signs now point to it happening very soon.

WWE SmackDown rolls into the Lenovo Center in Raleigh, North Carolina tonight with WrestleMania 42 just weeks away, and the road to the biggest show of the year is heating up fast. With major fallout from last week’s shocking betrayal and two title matches on deck, the stakes continue to rise.

Dennis Rodman is set to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2026, with the news first reported by ESPN’s Shams Charania. He joins a lineup that already includes AJ Styles, Demolition, and Stephanie McMahon, with the ceremony scheduled during WrestleMania 42 weekend in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Rodman’s ties to professional wrestling go back to the height of the Monday Night Wars in 1997, when he aligned himself with Hollywood Hulk Hogan and the New World Order in WCW. He stepped into the ring for the first time at Bash at the Beach 1997, teaming with Hogan in a losing effort against Lex Luger and The Giant. One year later at the same event, Rodman returned for a high profile celebrity tag match, once again teaming with Hogan to defeat Karl Malone and Diamond Dallas Page in a bout that drew widespread mainstream attention.

He also played a key role at Road Wild 1997, appearing as the Impostor Sting and attacking Lex Luger with a baseball bat to help Hogan capture the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. Rodman continued his run in WCW into 1999, where he entered a feud with Randy Savage that led to a match at Road Wild, though he came up short on that occasion.

Rodman made a surprise return to the wrestling spotlight in September 2023, appearing on AEW Collision where he aligned with The Acclaimed and Billy Gunn in the lead up to All Out.

Outside of wrestling, Rodman built a legendary career in basketball. He is a five time NBA Champion, winning titles with the Detroit Pistons in 1989 and 1990 before adding three more with the Chicago Bulls alongside Michael Jordan in 1996, 1997, and 1998. Known for his unmatched rebounding ability, he remains one of the most unique and celebrated figures in NBA history and was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2011.

WrestleMania 42 is set to take place across April 18 and 19 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Crossover: Basketball Hall of Famer Dennis Rodman will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in April, per ESPN sources. Rodman made his WCW debut in 1997 and famously skipped a practice during the 1998 NBA Finals for a wrestling match alongside Hulk Hogan. Two HOFs for Rodman.
