AEW’s Mercedes Mone Discusses Differences With WWE Sasha Banks Character

AEW TBS Champion Mercedes Mone has discussed the differences between her character in AEW and Sasha Banks in WWE.

Since Mercedes Mone left WWE in 2023, she has undergone a shift in character, no longer branding herself as ‘The Boss’ as she was in WWE, but rather the ‘CEO’.

Speaking on the Breakfast Club, Mercedes detailed the differences between her current character of Mercedes Mone, and her prior Sasha Banks character in WWE.

She said:

“Being a wrestler is role-playing online; it’s role-playing offline. Once I put on that wig, I’m Sasha Banks… but I’m not. I’m not her. I’m Mercedes Mone. I really felt like it was time to be that, and to own that brand.

“Sasha was a ‘Legit Boss.’ Now, Mercedes, she leveled up. She is the ‘CEO’ of her own life. She is the CEO of the women’s division, and she is the best in the game. She won’t let anybody tell her no. With Sasha Banks, I was told what to do. I was told what to say. I was told where to be. And now, really, I get to be the CEO of my own life, and let people know where I want to be.”

Mercedes hasn’t appeared on AEW television since All Out, where she defeated Hikaru Shida to retain the TBS Championship.
