Mercedes Mone Advocate Says WWE Made ‘Generous Offer’

AEW

An advocate for the newest AEW signee Mercedes Mone says WWE made a “generous offer” to the former Sasha Banks.

At AEW Big Business, Mercedes Mone made her official debut for All Elite Wrestling in front of her hometown of Boston. The evening ended with Mone making the save for Willow Nightingale against Skye Blue and TBS Champion Julia Hart.

Keven Undergaro is an advocate for the former Sasha Banks who helped put together her new theme song in AEW and has been part of her journey since leaving WWE.

Speaking on Heal Squad, Keven Undergaro discussed Mercedes Mone’s decision to sign with AEW. He said:

“A few months ago, we get a call from her old home saying they want her back. They put out a generous offer. A rival company that exists now also put out an offer.”

“Mercedes is really smart. She went with her gut and she felt the other offer was right. I agreed with her. It had a lot more. Not money, necessarily, but opportunity, creative, and mental help,”

“It’s nice that, where Mercedes is now, she’s not tolerated, she’s truly celebrated. They see her for what she is, which is a star.”

“This is a girl that, even just being on Mandalorian in her small role, they made nine action figures for her. They don’t do that out of charity, they do that because they sell.”

“It’s nice that she’s in a home now that gets it. It’s just nice to finally feel like I was able to deliver this.”

Mercedes Mone is set to appear on the March 20 edition of AEW Dynamite from Toronto.
