Mercedes Mone, formerly known as Sasha Banks in WWE, is one of AEW’s biggest stars.
While speaking with Hot 97, Mone discussed the origin of her current character.
“Then later on, when I was going through where I was going to be wrestling, I said, ‘Mercedes, what do you want the most?’ I said, ‘Money.’ ‘Mercedes, what are you not getting right now the most?’ I’m like, ‘Money.’ And I said, ‘What changes everything? Money.’ Yeah, so I said, ‘Mercedes Mone, that’s what we’re going to be, baby,’ and that’s exactly what I got. So when I tell you to manifest for what you want, go do it when the name change happens.”
