Megan Thee Stallion's song 'Neva Play' has been chosen as the new theme for WWE SmackDown, a decision that reportedly surprised AEW star Mercedes Mone and her team, who had anticipated a collaboration with the artist. Mone and Stallion met at the Crunchyroll Anime Awards earlier this year, leading to discussions between their management about a potential partnership in AEW, where Mone expressed her desire to work with Stallion in the ring. However, WWE's deal with Stallion for the SmackDown theme appears to complicate these prospects, as it was made after Mone publicly hinted at the collaboration. The situation raises questions about whether the WWE agreement will preclude any future AEW partnership between Stallion and Mone. Mone had previously mentioned her hopes to wrestle alongside or against Stallion, which adds to the intrigue surrounding their potential collaboration. Overall, while WWE's use of Stallion's music marks a new era for SmackDown, it leaves the future of her involvement with Mone in AEW uncertain.
