Mercedes Mone (fka Sasha Banks) is currently one of Tony Khan's priceless assets. She joined AEW last year and received one of the strongest pushes in the company's history. She is the reigning NJPW Strong Women's Champion, the TBS Champion, and the Undisputed British Women's Champion.
Before arriving in All Elite Wrestling, Mone was signed to the WWE from 2012 to 2022. Her time in the Stamford-based company was immensely successful as she held the WWE RAW Women's Championship five times and the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship once. Additionally, she is a former NXT Women's Champion.
The CEO, who is now 33 years old, has achieved numerous accolades throughout her career. Her wrestling journey is far from completion and in a recent appearance on The Katee Sackhoff Show, Mone revealed how the thought of retirement terrifies her.

"That scares me, I don’t want to think about the word retirement but I do think about slowing down because I’ve been doing it for so long. Aches and pains start to catch up and different dreams start to happen. Life starts to grow and I just have so many more dreams that I want to go pursue and chase and go accomplish while I still can, being young and feeling good and having my body feel good," said the former Sasha Banks.
