They say friendship transcends boundaries and it seems WWE Superstars have been setting examples lately. Recently, TNA aired their Hard to Kill PPV on Saturday Night and it saw former WWE Superstar, Naomi, aka Trinity, defend her Knockouts Championship against Jordynne Grace. However, the focus remains on the people who graced the attendance.

They were none other than Trinity’s old buddies, Bayley, and the person who has stirred the free agency market, Mercedes Mone aka Sasha Banks. Their frequent sighting together has been used to fuel speculations regarding the Blueprint inclining towards the Stamford-based company. To avoid catching attention, both of the multi-time women’s champions can be seen wearing black hoodies with glasses.

One can also see that they had taken a discrete spot behind the announcer’s desk. While both of them were there to see their friend succeed, unfortunately, Trinity lost the title after a valiant struggle.

This isn’t the first time when fans spotted superstars crossing promotional boundaries to reach out to their friends. Multi-time women’s champion, Charlotte Flair, is out because of a knee injury and was last seen during the AEW Event. On the other hand, Banks seems to be enjoying the constant attention amidst rumors of joining WWE as she keeps sharing teasers with her fans.

Amidst back-and-forth rumors of Banks receiving multiple contract offers, much of the wrestling community is wondering where she’ll eventually land. However, one person seems to have secured her company for the time being. It’s none other than the leader of Damage CTRL, Bayley. The Role Model recently took to Instagram to share her photos from the Los Angeles premiere of the new film “Self Reliance.”

Bayley could be seen posing with the director Jake Johnson in the foremost picture. In the third one, people can see both Bayley and Banks grin from ear to ear. Neither Bayley nor Banks are said to be involved in the film but, were only in attendance to see the premiere.

Banks has been away from wrestling since her appearance in the crowd at AEW All In from Wembley Stadium in August 2023. She hasn’t wrestled since May 2023, when she took on Willow Nightingale in the NJPW STRONG Women’s Championship tournament, during which she injured her ankle. Bayley on the other hand has been delivering big matches on Friday Night SmackDown.
