Mercedes Moné left WWE in 2022.
It's been over two years since Mercedes Moné walked out of WWE in search of greener pastures. She quickly rebranded herself as Mercedes, which is her birth name, with a nod to her past as Sasha Banks with the money connection. Many have questioned her decision to change her name, with people just now coming around to the change. For Mercedes, it's clear that for the first time since signing with WWE , she wants ownership over her character, her person.
"I love being able to go by my birth name, Mercedes. Because in wrestling for 14 years, and really 10 years in WWE, I was so used to carrying the name Sasha all the time," Moné told WFan Sports Radio."I'm not Sasha; I wasn't born as Sasha, I don't own the name Sasha, so I can't own that as a person. I can't be that as a person and I don't identity with her as a person.
She lit the professional wrestling landscape on fire with her unforgettable New Japan Pro Wrestling debut at Wrestle Kingdom 17, confronting then champion KAIRI. She'd go on to win the IWGP Women's Championship and nearly clinch the NJPW STRONG Women's Championship as well, but her unfortunate near career-ending injury would prevent that.
