WTH is Tony Khan doing with Sasha Banks aka Mercedes?

[Kidd Dibiase]

Taken partially out of context she said she still felt pain when running

 

[StatUS]

i will take my apology now @StatUS

Sorry you just blindly post things? I dunno what you what want.

She said she was in pain just running the ropes. The actual New York Post article states she was cleared in Decemeber but doesn't quote Mone. The only detail quoted is that Tony "delayed things" which from Decemeber to Now could mean anything.

And Fightful is saying something different.

In a feature article by Joseph Staszewski of the New York Post, it's noted that "She was medically cleared to wrestle in December and believes she’s in the best shape of her life for her AEW debut." Fightful Select has heard that isn't anywhere close to being the case, however.

Someone will have to ask this at the press conference to ease your obession with this woman obviously

You have to go back and read again like last time. I didn’t post it.

She told ESPN she BEEN cleared. Tony wanted to hold off on her debut to coincide with Okada and Ospreay for some strange reason. Maybe he was on one of his coke binges and thought it was a brilliant idea.

With the injuries she had, of course running the ropes isn’t going to be easy upon her first go at it. It’s something you gradually ease back into which she says Tyler Breeze helped her with.

What they should ask at the press conference is why did they debut her in March only to purposefully hold back on her first match until practically June. But they won’t because the wrestling “media” handles Tony and AEW with kiddie gloves.

You should read the actual New York Post article. When she's quoted it'll say "Mone said" or "she said." It doesn't for the cleared portion the reporter just says it outright. Fightful is saying they heard different but the reporter she actually talked to may be in the loop more. But why not quote her directly?

Now the delayed portion is quoted from Mone but what was delayed? Her debut or her first match? She got physical in March so she obviously wasn't at risk completely.

All I said in a throwaway sentence was that she alledgedly wasn't cleared until DoN. You stated ESPN had an article stating otherwise. I asked for you to post it so as to clear this up and you meme'd me with the let me Google that stuff. Like I got time all day to keep updating spiteful threads

You might not have time for threads but it would have only taken you 1 second to click on the link I posted, unless you’re on a 56k modem.

So you’re telling me that for some unknown reason the NY Post went into business for themselves and completely made something up in regards to Mercedes? As if they have some personal agenda against a particular female wrestler out of all people in the world. yeah ok..

If she got physical in March obviously she’s been fine to get back in the ring. She didn’t have to be putting on 60 minute broadways for gods sake. A feud with willow isn’t strong enough to sustain itself over a period of 3 months. This isn’t exactly Cody vs Roman here.

Post the ESPN article . You're going in circles to weeks ago. We already went over her potential feuds lol.

I'm not some AEW superfan like you. I'm not keeping track of every minute detail of that company. I just watch the shows and see what's said at the press conferences. I peep the ratings because it's part of a job I have. If someone posts some new info here I take a look.

And if you click on it, a couple of results down it will take you to articles from March saying that she’s cleared. You can’t possibly be this stupid. We have 2 major media outlets reporting that she’s been cleared for months yet you want to keep denying it out of stubbornness and daps from the most pathetic Mercedes mark in TSC. Pathetic.

Mercedes Moné slipped off the top rope and fell to the outside of the ring. Hard.

The top women's wrestling star landed on her feet, which in most cases would be a positive thing. This was not most cases. Moné came down with all her weight on her right foot, breaking it.

This was May 21, 2023, in a match against Willow Nightingale at a New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) event in Long Beach, California. Moné, formerly known as Sasha Banks in WWE, was supposed to win the match and the inaugural NJPW Strong women's championship. Knowing she was hurt and would likely be out, Moné reportedly called an audible. Nightingale won the match and the title.

Moné nearly lost more than a possibility for a belt that night.

"I was told this was a career-ending injury," Moné told ESPN last week.

She would not accept that diagnosis, despite not being able to put weight on the foot for three months. After surgery, extensive rehab and months of pro wrestling training in multiple gyms, Moné returned last Wednesday, debuting for All-Elite Wrestling (AEW) on its Dynamite television program in her hometown of Boston. Her appearance was unannounced but strongly hinted at. That was enough to draw over 9,000 to TD Garden to welcome her back.

"I felt like 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin," Moné said. "I felt so cool. Like all the fans were on their feet, they threw up their signs. Fans were from all around. They came from all around the world. Just for this very moment, just to see me talk, just to see me debut. It was such a dream come true. It was unbelievable."

WrestleRank 2024: Ranking the best wrestlers from 60 to 1

AEW's Sting, 64, goes out his way -- with death-defying stunts and family by his side

AEW announced that Moné had signed a multiyear contract with the promotion, making her the biggest name thus far in the five-year-old upstart's women's division. She joins former NJPW stars Kazuchika Okada and Will Ospreay as top AEW free-agent signings this year.

"Mercedes Moné is one of the best wrestlers on the planet, and signing Mercedes to AEW furthers our goal of being the premier destination for the world's top talent," AEW owner Tony Khan told ESPN.

Moné, 32, left WWE suddenly in 2022 after a decade there (and six title reigns) and resurfaced in NJPW with a surprise appearance at the Tokyo Dome in January 2023. The following month, she won the new IWGP women's championship from former WWE rival KAIRI. Moné spent the early part of 2023 having strong performances with NJPW and sister promotion Stardom.

After dropping the IWGP women's title to Mayu Iwatani, Moné entered a tournament for the NJPW Strong Women's championship. She beat Stephanie Vaquer in the semifinals before the injury against Nightingale in the finals.

"I can't watch that video back," Moné said. "It scares me. It makes me nervous. I don't know if I slipped. I don't know if it was a freak accident. I don't know if Willow pushed me on purpose. I really don't know."

It could not have come at a worse time. Moné (whose real last name is Varnado) was in the process of blazing a different trail for women's wrestling, choosing to leave WWE while still in her athletic prime to wrestle all over the world and pursue other ventures. Moné played a role in the popular Star Wars show "The Mandalorian" and continues getting acting gigs.


Mercedes Moné made her return to professional wrestling in her hometown of Boston with All Elite Wrestling. All Elite Wrestling
"It was the hardest time of my life," Moné said. "When the injury first happened, I was so in shock. I was so confused. I was like, 'Oh, wait, no,' because I was on a mission. I had so many goals of going to Mexico, the [United Kingdom], Japan, all over the United States. We were preparing for so much. But I think maybe my body and the universe was just like, 'Maybe you're just going a little too fast. Maybe you need to slow down. You're not done healing inside.'"

And that's what the last 10 months have been about for her -- healing mentally and physically. Moné wasn't cleared to wrestle by last August, but she was still in attendance -- and shown on screen -- at AEW's massive All In pay-per-view at Wembley Stadium. She was among more than 80,000 who filled the iconic London venue. Moné said she was not signed by AEW at that time, but watching that show in person is one of the reasons that drew her to the promotion.

"I'm all about creating history," Moné said. "I'm all about creating magic, and I'm all about creating so much more. And that's what AEW brings -- so much more, more opportunity, more chances and more chances just to stand out and to be seen and noticed."

Moné said she kept in touch with Khan, a lifelong pro wrestling fan whose father is Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shahid Khan, and he "just really spoke to my heart." Of course, AEW also presented a formidable financial offer, too.

"I mean, I'm not Mercedes Moné for no reason," she said with a smirk. "Money changes everything. I'm always about that bag. Absolutely."

More than anything, though, Moné said AEW's philosophy runs parallel to her own. Last year, before the injury, she wanted to travel the world, wrestle everywhere and cross over into the entertainment world. AEW, with a less demanding schedule than WWE, will give her the freedom to do all those things, including a budding music career. Moné's cousin is Snoop Dogg and her father was a musician. Moné rapped her new entrance theme, "CEO," titled after one of her wrestling nicknames.

"You can do so much more in AEW -- you can do everything," Moné said. "And for me, I want to do everything. So, this is the place for me to be, and this is the place that I call home."

Moné will be part of an improving AEW women's division, with her in-ring return yet to be announced. She said she is 100% healthy after last year's accident. The broken foot was just a setback.

"I love wrestling so much that I could not let the doctor tell me [I won't wrestle again], I couldn't let them say that was going to happen," Moné said. "I didn't take no for an answer. And I pushed hard every single day. Rehabbing, working out, getting my mind right, meditating. Because again, I wasn't sure when I was going to come back. I just knew that I was going to come back someday."

I've read this months ago lol. I laughed at you then and I'm laughing now. Nothing here about her being cleared.

There is a video of some neckbeard in the results saying she was cleared. I'll just assume that's you and say that's not really proof lol.

Look at Brad "Hannity" Piff yall

You clearly can’t read and your comprehension skills are seriously lacking. You have to resort to making shyt up to even respond to me. Next time just keep it moving and stick to threads sucking off Tony Khan and AEW where you’re surrounded by people more like minded like yourself.

Step your life skills up. If you can go a week without stalking little Tony Khan and Mercedes I'd respect you more as a man. The Kliq actually runs the biz now and you spend your whole life on here like an AEW stan.

I have more post than you in show threads and in the Coliseum forum because I'm not a gimmick poster who's whole identity is to troll.

You were actually a better poster when you revolved your life around Nas instead of fukking Tony Khan
