— (Si)Becky Lynch stated that The Four Horsewomen changed the game by being among the first group of women from NXT who broke through into a new generation, making their story one worth revisiting at any time when it delivers again and always does so well on WWE TV as they did in 2018.
— (Fightful)Becky Lynch has made clear that the door remains open for Mercedes Moné to return because she wants them both back together with Naomi, Sasha Banks (Mercedes), Charlotte Flair and Bayley so their story can be revisited again at any time when it delivers.
— (Wrestlingnews)Although fans should never say no seeing that the WWE has been a great place for Mercedes Moné to wrestle since she joined in 2018, there is always hope of her return because they were all creative frustrated at what was happening with women's wrestling when The Four Horsewomen left.
