Update On Plans For New Group In AEW Involving Mercedes Mone, Injured Star Nearing Return, Grand Slam: Australia
– The Renegade Twins were backstage at AEW Dynamite last week. There has been internal discussions for some time now about the possibility of aligning them with Mercedes Mone in on-air storylines in AEW.
– Trent Baretta, who has been on the sidelines for a while, has been backstage at multiple recent AEW Dynamite shows.
– Maria Kanellis reached a short term extension with AEW that expired in January. That is the deal she referenced expiring on social media last week, which now makes her a free agent.
