Former WWE star Mercedes Mone (Sasha Banks) has been reserved when discussing her departure from WWE in public, preferring to focus on her future plans.
Mone and Trinity Fatu, formerly known as Naomi, left WWE in May 2022 due to creative differences. They were suspended and stripped of their WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships as a result. Months later, they were released, with Mone joining NJPW and Fatu joining Impact.
Mone is expected to return to NJPW and likely join AEW once she has been cleared medically from an injury that forced her to undergo surgery and put her on the sidelines for months.
Mone was recently asked how NJPW treated her during a fan signing because he read that creative differences were the reason 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 ?
