There have been rumors about Tony Khan producing more belts than the Trios Titles. One set of belts that hasn’t been made, but will be, is if Tony Khan can get Mercedes Varnado (Sasha Banks) into AEW. He’s said to be obsessed with her and considers her the greatest female wrestler of all-time, and maybe Top 5 of anyone ever.
Varnado is said to be pretty set on making a women’s tag division important. Through TK’s contacts (he’s said to hang out with Snoop Dogg) there have been talks “as friends” to get around contract issues where they’ve discussed having MJKV and a partner establish a set of AEW Women’s World Tag Team Titles. Britt Baker & Jamie Hayter would likely be Sasha and her partner’s rival. Eventually they would like to bring in Pamela Martinez (Bayley) and Trinity Fatu (Naomi) to be tag and singles rivals of Mercedes too.
He’s apparently so keen to resolve the issue of Sasha Banks & Naomi’s frozen contracts in WWE that he has offered to buy them out. Naomi has about 3 months left, which would cost him about $400k. Sasha signed a new deal in 2019, so she’s got about 2 years left, which is about $1.2 million. If WWE stop ignoring his calls, that could make it possible for them to come in as a unit.
