What impact did Mercedes Moné have on the reputation of WWES NXT brand?
Wikipedia‑Style Context
Mercedes Moné (born July 26 1992), formerly known to mainstream audiences as Sasha Banks, is an American professional wrestler who has become a central figure in the resurgence of women’s wrestling worldwide. After debuting on the independent circuit in 2012, she quickly rose through the ranks of promotions such as Women of Wrestling (WOW) and shimmer women Athletes before joining WWE’s developmental brand NXT in 2015. In NXT,Moné captured the Women’s Championship twice and helped establish the brand’s reputation for high‑caliber technical wrestling.
Transitioning to WWE’s main roster in 2016, she amassed a historic collection of titles: two Raw Women’s Championships, one SmackDown women’s Championship, and two WWE Women’s Tag team Championships (with Bayley). Her storyline with Bayley as “The Golden Role‑Models” and later as “The BFFs” made her a fan favorite. Following a high‑profile exit from WWE in 2022, Moné reinvented her persona, adopting the “Mercedes Moné” moniker and announcing her return to the independent scene under the tagline “the greatest wrestler to ever walk out of Massachusetts.”
In 2024, Moné signed with All Elite Wrestling (AEW), where she quickly positioned herself as a main‑event talent. Concurrently, she collected several regional championships-including the RevPro undisputed British Women’s Championship, SWE Queen of Southside, Discovery Wrestling Women’s Championship, and EWA Women’s Championship-culminating in a historic multi‑title defense at RevPro’s Uprising event on December 8 2025. Her bold proclamation of being the “greatest” sparked a media buzz that set the stage for her appearance at AEW’s Holiday Bash on December 17 2025,where she will team with Athena,Marina Shafir,and megan Bayne in an eight‑woman tag match.
Moné’s career trajectory showcases a rare blend of mainstream exposure, independent credibility, and cross‑promotional influence, making her a pivotal figure in the current era of professional wrestling and a key draw for AEW’s holiday programming.
