AEW is drawing attention with two headline moments: the anticipated return of Scorpio Sky to the ring after a lengthy absence, and Mercedes Mone’s direct callout to Britt Baker, fueling talk of a Britt Baker versus Mercedes Mone feud. Both developments unfolded as AEW builds excitement around upcoming broadcasts and women’s wrestling storylines.
Scorpio Sky Returns to AEW Action After Two-Year Hiatus
AEW marked a significant milestone by taping the 100th episode of Collision following its 300th Dynamite broadcast. Set to air on July 5th on TNT, this episode will showcase Scorpio Sky, a two-time TNT Champion, making his highly anticipated in-ring comeback. During the tapings, Max Caster issued an open challenge, which Sky answered decisively, securing a swift victory that signaled his return to top form.
The atmosphere backstage reflected Sky’s importance to AEW. A widely shared photo captured him entering the arena flanked by Christopher Daniels and Top Flight members Dante Martin, Darius Martin, and Leila Grey. After the bout, Daniels joined Sky in the ring to celebrate his dominant win, emphasizing the former champion’s renewed presence in the promotion. Fans and talent alike appeared energized by Sky’s return, adding depth to AEW’s roster and upcoming storylines.
Mercedes Mone Speaks Out on WWE Evolution and Responds to Britt Baker Feud Chatter
Mercedes Mone, formerly known as Sasha Banks, entered the news cycle with candid comments on WWE’s announcement for Evolution 2025, an all-women’s pay-per-view scheduled for next year. During an Instagram Live session, Mone both commended the event and offered criticism regarding the timing of WWE’s announcement.
“It’s about time. They waited way too long to have another all-women’s pay-per-view. But I love women’s wrestling, and I’ll always support it. I’m so excited for the women who get the chance to perform on that show.”

The conversation then shifted when Mone addressed speculation about a possible Britt Baker versus Mercedes Mone feud. Responding to a fan’s comment about seeing more rivalry with the former AEW Women’s World Champion, Mone’s remarks left no doubt about her readiness to engage in the storyline.
“‘We wanted more of you versus Britt.’ You did? Well, if DMD wants a back adjustment, she knows where to find me — in MY locker room. Just make sure you knock first. Otherwise, I’m calling security… and the cops.”
