Biography
About Mercedes Mone
Mercedes Justine Kaestner-Varnado, known to wrestling fans as Mercedes Moné, first made her mark under the ring name Sasha Banks. Born in Fairfield, California, she is an American professional wrestler who has also built careers as an actress, business woman, and influencer. Her real and natural 34B bust, athletic build, and black hair and brown eyes are part of her recognisable look. She has been active since 2010, starting on the independent circuit, and has since become one of the most decorated women in the sport.
Her decade-long run in WWE, from 2012 to 2022, saw her hold the Raw Women's Championship five times, win the inaugural WWE Women's Tag Team Championship with Bayley, and capture the SmackDown Women's Championship, making her a Grand Slam and Triple Crown Champion. She and Charlotte Flair were the first women to headline a WWE pay-per-view and to compete in a Hell in a Cell match. At WrestleMania 37, she and Bianca Belair became the first two Black women to headline the event. In 2020, Sports Illustrated named her Wrestler of the Year. After leaving WWE in 2022, she debuted for NJPW/Stardom as Mercedes Moné in January 2023.
Outside the ring, she played Koska Reeves in the second and third seasons of The Mandalorian on Disney+, and she is a first cousin of rapper Snoop Dogg, who helped develop her in-ring persona. She cites Eddie Guerrero as her inspiration, and she married retired wrestler Sarath Ton, known as Mikaze, in 2016. She is of African and German descent. On Instagram, she has amassed millions of followers, and she also has a strong TikTok and YouTube presence. This year she turns 34, with 16 years of active wrestling behind her.
