Mercedes Moné, previously known as Sasha Banks in WWE, recently took to Twitter/X to react to a video shared by her former tag team partner, Bayley, showcasing her impressive juggling skills. The reigning WWE Women’s Champion and Moné’s former tag team partner, Bayley, displayed her dexterity in a social media post. Moné, who previously held the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships with Bayley, responded with a succinct yet expressive “WOW” to Bayley’s juggling prowess.
In a notable turn of events, Moné transitioned to All Elite Wrestling (AEW) and clinched the AEW TBS Championship in a remarkable debut at Double or Nothing. Her victory at the pay-per-view event against Willow Nightingale was followed by a successful title defense against Skye Blue on a subsequent episode of Dynamite. Meanwhile, Bayley achieved success on SmackDown by defeating Chelsea Green, only to face an assault from Green’s tag team partner, Piper Niven, potentially setting the stage for a future championship clash.

However, former WWE writer Eric Bischoff recently criticized Moné’s current trajectory in AEW, suggesting a decline in her popularity and impact. Bischoff, speaking on the 83 Weeks podcast, expressed disappointment in Moné’s AEW journey, attributing it to poor booking decisions and a lack of audience engagement. Despite her past accomplishments in WWE, including winning the RAW and SmackDown Women’s Championships, Moné parted ways with the company in 2022 due to reported creative differences.
Following her departure from WWE, Moné briefly competed in organizations such as New Japan Pro-Wrestling and World Wonder Ring Stardom, where she added to her accolades by becoming the IWGP Women’s Champion. As the wrestling terrain continues to evolve, Moné’s career shifts and achievements serve as testaments to her versatility and resilience in the competitive world of professional wrestling.
