Hip hop star Megan Thee Stallion's song Neva Play is now the opening theme song for WWE’s Friday Night Smackdown, but at one point there were expectations that she would instead partner with Mercedes Mone in All Elite Wrestling, PWInsider.com can confirm.
This past February, Megan Thee Stallion and Mercedes Mone met while at the Crunchyroll Anime Awards in Japan as they were fans of each other. The meeting opened up negotiations between Megan’s manager Mike B of Roc Nation and Mone’s manager Keven Undergaro.
We are told that after the two sides had agreed to do something together, Mone publicly mentioned the idea while promoting AEW All In: London, noting that she was hoping to get Stallion in the ring in AEW. There had been conversations about the two doing something together in WWE as far back as 2021.
After Mone went public, WWE made the deal to have Stallion’s song Neva Play, which as you might imagine, caught the Mone circle by surprise. Whether this means the end of any potential Mone-Stallion alliance remains to be seen, but obviously, the WWE deal didn't help.

Puck, a premium newsletter for the entertainment industry, featured a report tonight on money that Warner Bros. Discovery head David Zaslav is starting to spend after saving it on the $1.5 Billion NBA deal that didn't happen, including All Elite Wrestling.
Their report notes that AEW's deal with WBD is "close to finalizing a package" and a formal announcement "could come as soon as next week, barring any last-minute challenges." Next week would coincide with AEW returning to Arthur Ashe Stadium in NYC, which usually has WBD reps in attendance.
Puck's report cites that "it looks like it will be a four-year deal (three years guaranteed, plus an option)" with AEW broadcasts on "TNT, TBS andTruTV."
The report stated the broadcasts would be "twice a week" but did not give further explanation of what that meant or whether there would be any changes to the current AEW programming lineup.
They also cite that a $170 million per year number is "apparently in the ballpark" and that "AEW is also pitching another package, primarily to broadcast channels."
The Puck report did not include any details on if the expected new WBD would include AEW's monthly PPV broadcasts in any way, shape or form.
PWInsider.com has reached out to AEW for comment and will update if they respond.
