1. Sasha Banks To AEW

Personal happiness is important, people.

That's a broad statement, sure, but one that's worth repeating over and over. Though this is a guess (nobody really knows her true thoughts), it does look like Sasha Banks has had enough of WWE to last a lifetime. She could use a change of pace more than anybody else listed.

Saraya noted that Tony Khan giving her freedom to explore personal projects outside pro wrestling was a huge factor in her decision to sign with AEW. Sasha would likely appreciate that autonomy too, especially because she appears happiest when WWE's 'we must control everything' style isn't a concern.

Banks, as Mercedes Varnado, landing in All Elite territory would blow up social media. The signing would be worth it for the Twitter engagements alone, but then Sasha could get to work on matches vs. everyone from Toni Storm and Thunder Rosa to Britt Baker (if she stays put).

This would be huge.
