Mercedes Moné, formerly known as Sasha Banks, walked out of WWE in May 2022. She later signed with AEW and debuted at AEW Dynamite: Big Business in March 2024. Since then, Moné has won the TBS Championship and the NJPW STRONG Women’s Championship.

Speaking on Refin’ It Up , former WWE commentator Jonathan Coachman shared his thoughts on AEW and multiple members of the roster.

“I saw Mercedes (Moné) do an interview and by the way, I don’t really wanna insult her too much but AEW people already hate me anyway and she said that they gave her creative control,” Coachman said. “She said, ‘When I’m on the movie set, when I want the private jet, Tony lets me use it whenever I want.’ Well no wonder she didn’t last in the WWE. Why would she ever get a private jet to use? Which I don’t believe to be true but if he is that stupid, then that’s on Tony Khan.

“But to say she’s the biggest signing they’ve ever had and she’s the best diva or whatever, she’s terrible on the microphone. It takes two seconds to listen to her cut a promo and the other day, Britt Baker just ran circles around her in their promo segment when Britt came back. Looked amazing by the way. That’s what a star looks like. You gotta be able to back it up with the arrogance and Mercedes has never been able to do that in the WWE.”

Jonathan Coachman: Mercedes Moné Is Getting Exposed

Jonathan Coachman went on to share his belief that Mercedes Moné was getting exposed because the company kept giving her promo segments. He stated that she can’t talk.

“I don’t know why Tony Khan, but hey, she made all the money, but now she’s getting exposed because they’re giving her-her own mic segments every week and it’s not good and that’s why the crowd the other day told her to shut up,” he said. “The crowd knows you gotta be able to talk and work and she can’t talk and that’s why sometimes she comes on, I turn it off.”

Coachman also noted that he wanted AEW as a whole to do well because it made people more money.

Moné is set to defend the TBS Championship against Britt Baker at AEW All In.
