Ex-WWE Personality Claims Mercedes Mone Was Never Able to Back Up Her Arrogance

Mercedes Mone, formerly known as Sasha Banks during her WWE tenure, has carved out a significant presence in the wrestling industry. With that said, a former WWE personality has now claimed that Moe was never able to back up her arrogance in WWE.

Mercedes Mone notably walked out of WWE in May 2022, alongside Naomi. Her departure was reportedly attributed to creative frustrations and concerns about her position within the women’s division.

Mercedes Mone even claimed that she has creative control in AEW, but further added that she still works together with Tony Khan. However, her statement did raise quite a few eyebrows.

While speaking on Refin’ It Up, former WWE personality Jonathan Coachman criticized Mercedes Moné, suggesting that she failed to live up to her self-proclaimed arrogance during her WWE tenure. Coachman, who made his comments on a podcast, implied that Moné’s behavior and claims about her perks in AEW, such as using a private jet and having creative control, might be exaggerated.

Coachman questioned why Moné received such privileges, implying that if AEW’s Tony Khan really gave her those perks, it would reflect poorly on him. Coachman also criticized Moné’s promo skills, stating that she struggles on the microphone and has been outperformed by other wrestlers like Britt Baker.

According to Coachman, Moné’s inability to back up her confidence with strong performances is a key reason why she didn’t succeed in WWE, and he suggested that she is now being exposed in AEW because her weekly mic segments are not well-received by fans.

”I saw Mercedes (Moné) do an interview and by the way, I don’t really wanna insult her too much but AEW people already hate me anyway and she said that they gave her creative control. She said, ‘When I’m on the movie set, when I want the private jet, Tony lets me use it whenever I want.’ Well no wonder she didn’t last in the WWE. Why would she ever get a private jet to use? Which I don’t believe to be true but if he is that stupid, then that’s on Tony Khan. But to say she’s the biggest signing they’ve ever had and she’s the best diva or whatever, she’s terrible on the microphone.

It takes two seconds to listen to her cut a promo and the other day, Britt Baker just ran circles around her in their promo segment when Britt came back. Looked amazing by the way. That’s what a star looks like. You gotta be able to back it up with the arrogance and Mercedes has never been able to do that in the WWE. I don’t know why Tony Khan, but hey, she made all the money, but now she’s getting exposed because they’re giving her-her own mic segments every week and it’s not good and that’s why the crowd the other day told her to shut up. The crowd knows you gotta be able to talk and work and she can’t talk and that’s why sometimes she comes on, I turn it off.”

Mercedes Mone also bragged about getting lucrative contracts from various promotions before joining AEW but she was accused of manipulating Tony Khan. Nevertheless, Mercedes Mone will continue to be a huge star in AEW and that’s unlikely to change anytime soon.
