Mercedes Varnado (aka Sasha Banks/Mercedes Moné) has been one of my favorite professional wrestlers ever since she introduced herself as “The Boss” back in NXT. It killed me when she abruptly left WWE after feeling dispected and just seemed to exist in limbo. She did a few dates in the Indies and then wound up in New Japan for a while, but everyone was waiting for her to return to the WWE. But all that ended tonight, because Sasha Banks (now Mercedes Moné) arrived in AEW and is now officially “All Elite”. It’s interesting that even though I don’t really watch AEW that much, now my 2 favorite wrestlers are on their roster (the other being “Timeless” Toni Storm). I’m sure she’ll find herself reuniting with Beylay in WWE sometime in the future. But until then, it’s going to be great watching her mix it up with a whole new crop of wrestling. “The Boss” has now been promoted to “The CEO”.
