SASHA BANKS
Then came The Boss. And WOW… What an era. NXT Women’s Champion. Multiple-time WWE Women’s Champion. WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion. One half of the first-ever WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. Main events. Hell in a Cell. Iron Woman. TakeOvers. WrestleManias. And eventually… MAIN EVENTING WRESTLEMANIA. There were so many moments when we were told […]
MERCEDES KV
This is where the foundation was built. Before the bright lights. Before the championships. Before the world knew Sasha Banks or Mercedes Moné. There was Mercedes KV. Learning. Training. Traveling. Taking bumps. Making mistakes. Getting better. Dreaming BIG. Those years taught me that nobody was going to hand me my dream. I had to chase […]
Mercedes KV. Sasha Banks. Mercedes Moné.
Three names. Three eras. One dream. This month marks 16 YEARS since I started my professional wrestling journey. SIXTEEN!!! Sometimes I really have to stop and let that sink in. When I first stepped into a wrestling ring as Mercedes KV, I had a dream. I didn’t know exactly where that dream would take me. […]
Sitting at Wembley
This one feels different. Because I feel different. There is a fire inside of me right now that I haven’t felt in a very long time. A desire to get into that ring and F’N SOAR. Maybe Willow has been a thorn in my side since the moment our paths first crossed. Maybe our story […]
ALL IN
And here’s something crazy to think about… I’ve been to every AEW ALL IN except the very first one in Chicago. I wasn’t there in person for that one, but you KNOW I made sure I watched it! I understood even then that something special was happening in professional wrestling. Then came London in 2023. That […]
Willow
Then I was on the run of my career. Championship after championship. Thirteen belts. Moné literally carrying the weight of women’s wrestling on my body. And then… WILLOW. She took my TBS Championship. And it wasn’t enough to just beat me. I had to watch her celebrate. Dancing around my exhausted body while I laid […]
BIG BUSINESS
March 13, 2024. BO$$TON. My hometown. My debut. The beginning of a completely new chapter in my career. I came to AEW with a mission. I said that this was the place where we could take the women’s revolution and make it GLOBAL. And who would eventually find herself standing in the way of that […]
Lost After WWE
After everything that happened with WWE, I felt lost. I felt scared. I felt unsure of myself. For the first time in a long time, I didn’t know exactly what was next. But there was ONE thing I knew with every part of my soul: I LOVE PRO F’N WRESTLING. So I had a decision […]
DON’T GO BACK. GO FORWARD.
But there was something else happening during that time. I was hurt. And when you’re hurt, you have A LOT of time to think. Willow and I had already crossed paths in 2023, and for a long time, I carried feelings about what happened to me in that match. It’s taken a lot of therapy […]
PRO F’N WRESTLING
I was in awe. I wanted to cry. And somewhere inside of me, I think I already knew. When I got back home, there was one thing I couldn’t stop thinking about: AEW WAS THE PLACE FOR ME.
