Former WWE Star Challenges Mercedes Mone

NJPW

Former WWE star Taya Valkyrie (Franky Monet) has called out Mercedes Mone – formerly known as Sasha Banks in WWE – for a match.

Mone made her debut for New Japan Pro Wrestling at Wrestle Kingdom 17, where she debuted her new name and gimmick.

Speaking on the Comedy Store Wrestling podcast, Valykrie named Mone as a potential dream wrestling opponent, before going on to praise her NJPW debut:

“Well I’m gonna say her and she’s now out in the world and free to play. She has a huge respect for Lucha libre, which for me is very important and something that I hold dear and close to my heart. So why not Mercedes Mone? Mercedes, you know where to find me.

“I just wanna talk about her entire look because she came out looking like money. She looked great.

“Even though that crowd was being not as loud as people expected, just because that’s just how it is, I think that she just commanded that stage and walked that runway and killed it.”

Valyrie currently competes for IMPACT, NWA, AAA, MLW, and a range of other wrestling promotions.
