One of the biggest disappointments for the WWE fans in 2022 was the departure of Sasha Banks. She was holding the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship along with Naomi and after some backstage issues, both of them decided to leave WWE and also vacated the Women’s Tag Team titles.

There had been rumors every now and then of their return to WWE. Naomi; who returned to the promotion in January 2024 as a surprise entrant in the Royal Rumble match is still active in the promotion. But Sasha Banks left her WWE fans disappointed as she decided to move away from the promotion holding the hands of other top promotions like NJPW and AEW.

Presently, she is famous in AEW as Mercedes Mone and even in a short time period, she has achieved great success in the promotion. One of her recent feuds with Harley Cameron for the AEW TBS Championship earned critical appreciation from the fans and critics. Mercedes Mone recently wrote in her Mone Mag newsletter that she praised the Australian professional wrestler;

Mercedes Mone was famous as Sasha Banks in WWE

“Australia, you were nothing short of incredible! Wrestling in front of that passionate crowd was an experience I’ll never forget. The warmth and kindness of everyone I encountered—from the hotel staff to the fans—left a lasting impression on me. Seriously, the people in Australia are some of the nicest I’ve ever met.

“And let’s talk about my match with Harley! She was phenomenal. Watching her grow has been such a joy, and I truly believe she’s on her way to becoming a world champion. She’s a star, a go-getter, and an entertainer in every sense of the word. But remember, while she’s on her way up, I’m still the greatest of all time and the reigning TBS champion. Nothing can derail this momentum—not even Momo Watabana. trust me, this Moné train is unstoppable!”

Mone is presently featured on the mid card division of AEW, but surely, she will be pictured as a main event star in the promotion soon. Having won the WWE Women’s title six times in total, she was a top star in WWE throughout her time in the promotion. She is only 33 right now and she definitely has a long way to go.
