Former WWE star Mercedes Mone (Sasha Banks) has stayed reserved when talking about her WWE departure in public, as she would rather talk about what she’s doing in the future.
In May 2022, Mone and Trinity Fatu, formerly known as Naomi, walked out of WWE last May due to creative differences. In the aftermath, they were suspended and stripped of the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. Months later, they were granted their releases, with Mone going to NJPW and Fatu in Impact.
Mone is expected to return to NJPW and likely join AEW once she’s medically cleared from an injury that resulted in her undergoing the knife and putting her on the sidelines for months.
While doing a recent fan signing, Mone was asked how NJPW treated her because he read that creative issues were why she left WWE.
Fan: “How has New Japan Wrestling treated you? I know that you left WWE because of the creative issues.”
Mone: “So, is that the reason?
Fan: “Yes, that’s what I read.”
Mone: “Oh, that’s what you read. But you weren’t there, so no.”
Fan: “So what’s the real reason?”
Mone: “Why would I tell you?”
Fan: “I want to know.”
Mone: “You ain’t going to see my interview. Ain’t going to read my book. You ain’t going to see me in the future.”
Fan: “I do all of that. Yeah.”
Mone: “All right, then, just wait. Thank you. JJ appreciate you. Keep on reading your fiction books. Okay.”
Fan asked Mercedes if she left WWE because of creative & she shut him up real quick 😭
