A WWE name who is rumored to be returning has filed several new trademarks that may signal their next career move.
Mercedes Kaestner-Varnado, AKA Sasha Banks, has had several trademarks filed on the behalf of her company, Soulnado, Inc, which was formed in August 2022, by attorney Michael Dockins, who handles trademarks for a number of pro wrestling names.
The trademarks filed on November 10 were for the following:
Mercedes Mone’
Mone’ Talks
Bank Mone’
Statement Maker
The filed trademarks are not wrestling related, rather, they have been filed for purposes including clothing, jewelry and decals.
The trademarks cover filings for the following goods and services:
G & S: Jewelry; Jewelry and imitation jewelry; Pins being jewelry
G & S: Decals; Stickers; Posters made of paper; Stickers; Collectable printed trading cards; Collectible printed trading cards; Pictures in the nature of printed photographs; Printed post cards; Printed postcards; Printed posters
G & S: Coffee mugs; Drinking glasses; Water bottles sold empty
G & S: Hats; Leggings; Pants; Shirts; Socks; Bandanas; Sweatshirts; Hooded sweatshirts
G & S: Action figure toys; Action figures; Action figures and accessories therefor; Toy action figures
G & S: Entertainment services in the nature of live audio performances by an actor or musician; Entertainment services in the nature of live visual and audio performances by an actor; Entertainment services in the nature of live visual and audio performances by an actor or musician; Entertainment in the nature of wrestling contests; Entertainment services, namely, wrestling exhibits and performances by a professional wrestler and entertainer; Entertainment services, namely, live appearances by a professional wrestler, actor, and musician; Entertainment services, namely, personal appearances by a professional wrestler, actor, and musician; Entertainment services, namely, providing music tours in the nature of live musical performances; Entertainment services, namely, providing non-downloadable prerecorded music via a website; Entertainment services, namely, televised appearances by a professional wrestler, actor, and musician; Entertainment, namely, live music concerts; Providing wrestling news and information via a global computer network; Providing on-line music, not downloadable; Providing on-line videos featuring a professional wrestler, actor, and musician, not downloadable; Providing online music, not downloadable
The trademarks notably play on the wording of Sasha Banks’ ‘The Boss’ gimmick and finisher, the Bank Statement.
These filings signal Sasha Banks’ next step outside of the ring.
The Boss has not been seen on WWE since walking out backstage with Naomi during the May 16 episode of WWE Raw, vacating the Women’s Tag Team Championship in the process.
It does not mean a potential return is ruled out, however, as recently, Banks was seen training with Mexican wrestling legend Juventud Guerrera in Mexico, further fuelling speculation of a return under Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque’s new regime.
