Mercedes Varnado, formerly known as Sasha Banks, is expected to appear at Wednesday’s NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 17 event from the Tokyo Dome after becoming a free agent on Sunday.
Pwinsider reports that Banks’ former tag team partner Naomi, real name Trinity Fatu, is currently slated to be in Japan.
It’s unclear whether Naomi will appear on the show, but NJPW sources said they would not confirm they are bringing her in.
Last month, Dave Meltzer provided the latest update on Naomi when he reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that the belief is that Naomi will have to make a decision regarding her future. He wrote the following:
“Originally she wanted to come back with Banks as a tag team and was told her decision would be to sit at home, to go elsewhere (her contract was about to expire when she left although they could freeze it and force her back for a very short period of time, but that really wouldn’t make sense) or to return without Banks.”
