Mercedes Mone, also once known as Sasha Banks in the WWE, was at a recent signing event, where she encountered a fan who would not let up on aggressively asking questions as to why she left the promotion. More on this story, below.
Mercedes Mone Denies Rumors On WWE Exit – Fan Wouldn’t Let Up
As most know, in May 2022 the talent, along with Naomi, abruptly walked out of Monday Night RAW and never returned to the company. The Creative team needed to scramble to re-write the show, as the two were WWE Women’s Tag Champions at the time.
The rumor was that the duo left because of creative differences in how the Women’s Tag Titles were being presented. Still, this was never confirmed.
As you can see from the video above, which was posted by Fade Away Media on X/Twitter, during a signing, a fan asked Mercedes about leaving the WWE. Creative differences were referenced, and she wasn’t overly pleased with the fan’s continual questioning.
In fact, she answers with “oh, that’s what you read”, noting “you were there” (sarcastically). She went back to singing and never gave him a real answer to his question.
Sasha Banks and Naomi walking out of RAW caused a major upset at the time. While it’s been over a year since the two ladies did so, many fans, peers, and wrestling media have been divided on whether their actions were justified in their situation.
The ladies ended up being indefinitely suspended and stripped of their tag titles. Banks would enter New Japan Pro Wrestling in January 2023, while Naomi joined Impact in April of this year performing under the name Trinity.
Currently, Banks has a broken ankle she is recovering from, an injury she suffered during a bout with Willow Nightingale. This happened back in May, so hopefully Banks can get back on her feet and in that ring, very soon.
