Her sharing that she financially supports her mother and brother just made me really respect her beyond wrestling.
Which family member wouldnt do that? It doesnt make her special, it makes her normal
@@BDFProtectorsome people don’t
Every wrestler supports their family 😂 how is this any different? Lmao
@@pedromatias7608 They have to reach to find anything redeemable about her as whenever she opens her mouth, she has a talent of undoing all goodwill.
She also complained to Twitter that a fan asked to take a pic with her..
This interviewer did a good job despite not being a huge wrestling fan
Yes she has stats n stuff n was engaging asking a lot of questions
Nessa is dope
Nessa is a decent interviewer
Trust me you will love AEW alot
Nessa is the best!!!
12:00 why she left wwe
So she left because of her heart and soul. Got it.
I think they was not paying what she disservice
Thank you!
thank you🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
She thinks deserves more when shes not that good
Really enjoyed that interview a lot. Mercedes' story is amazing and she was so candid and personable here. Great stuff. Wish her nothing but the best.
Nessa u should get Trinity fatu on the show
YEAH SHE SHOULD AND SHE COULD TELL HER SIDE OF THE STORY OF HER AND MERCEDES MONE WALKING OUT AND BOTH ON THE SHOW CAUSE I WANT TO HEAR TRINITY FATU STORY 2
Facts
@user-iw6vp2nv6v according to what i heard Naomi said she didn't like it when she left WWE
I’m watching in a heartbeat!
Yeh a real talent.
Y’all don’t be in the comments hating she deserves the spot she’s got n yall sitting here saying she needs to calm her ego down look what she’s done for wrestling they’ll pay Becky a mill but won’t pay a mf who brought in the tag tittles or a mf who made history with bayley or a mf who made history at wrestlemainia they should’ve been paying that girl high price instead of spending money on a Ronda rousey who ain’t did nun when she was there I’m glad she left but hopefully she came back like cm punk n they do her right bc she has done a lot for that company that yall ain’t ready to talk about
Agree with everything you said but she ain't got to go back like CM punk
Agree
No hate from me! Her matches with Charlotte & Bailey are classic! And I loved her heel run with Bailey! She'll definitely go back! She HAS to! And hopefully, they put together a great Four Horsewomen storyline!
@@Cmonnsonn Yessir
Naomi only came back to wwe because nobody was checking for her outside of the wwe
I love this woman. She's the best. Been a fan of Mercedes since NXT & WWe as Sasha Banks. I'm proud of all of her accomplishments in her career. I will always love & support Mercedes. Her match with Bayley @ NXT Takeover BKN in 2015 made me a fan of her & Bayley forever.
I love this girl so much she is to damn cute...❤😂
And sexy
Great interview. Lovely anchor. Mercedes has such a beautiful soul. A great heart, kind, generous and very sacrificial. A great blessing to professional wrestling. May God bless you, Mercedes and your lovely family. Well done.
Personally would love to see a match with Mercedes & Roxanne Perez somewhere down the line
That would be cool
For her to put over roxy naw
@@jaybird2981 I said down the line & it's not like she'll need to be put over. Just a good ole to see whose better in ring.
@@seanstroman6087 nope cus if it’s in wwe she have to put her over naw but aew nope
Great idea!
Best interview of her that I have seen in a while and Nessa asked great questions 👏🏽👏🏽💗
The best interviewer, she's so happy and did her research. Mercedes is awesome.
Love watching her on AEW Dynamite Wrestling.
That was so much fun. Love you Mercedes, keep doing you. And i have to get myself some crystals cos they are soo beautiful 😊😊
She gives a better interview than she cuts a promo.
Mercedes modified the move that she accidentally injured Paige with. Instead of it being a double kick to the neck from the corner it’s now knees to the body from the corner.
Paige was suffering from a nerve condition and shouldn't have even been cleared to be in a wrestling match. Another bonehead decision by that old fart Vinnie Mac. He's the reason Mercedes and Naomi walked out. That bastard is out of touch when it comes to booking,storylines and character development. Thank goodness he's no longer involved with WWE. Good riddance.
Idk if this is a joke or not but she’s been doing that move since 2015 just in case you didn’t know..
So proud of her!🤗 She is on a roll right now. Keep doing your thing girl💯 I have always supported and pushed women's wrestling. The women in high school, college, WOW, TNA Impact, AEW, NXT and WWE are turning up wrestling right now!
PLEASE support them in both the small and big organizations.
I forgot Sahsa or Mercedes is related to Snoop Dogg. But she looks like Warren G. She looks related to Warren G
True reason why Mercedes Moné left WWE: 11:58
This is done with the objective of getting people to remove Internet rumors about why she left WWE.
Few years ago she left WWE I thought she was out and quit her wrestling carrier but The moment I watch her New Return Of Njpw first ever match and she win I was like oh my Gosh She's back and she's getting better and better than she was Keep going Mercedes Make The CEO shine as always ❤
It's funny that she's a 14 x champion when you look at her resume 😮😊
Chaotic wrestling champion 1x
Nxt 1x
Raw 5x
1 x smackdown
3x tag
1x njpw
1x tbs champ
1x strong champ
14 title reigns
Because she’s the fucking GOAT!!!! Go Mercedes!!!!❤
Don’t 14x champion imply that she’s won 14 world championships? In that regard she’s about a 7 time champion if you only count the major promotions like wwe aew and njpw but if you count also count her indie championships she’s a 12 time champion i personally count everything because it’s something that they did somewhere else big or small it’s an accomplishment nonetheless
@@CharlesSmith-rn6qv She never deserved even one of those titles. She would be nothing without being snoop dogg cousin . She is awful
She left cause she got asked to do a job and lose her strap. All good keep blowing smoke you no good wrestler . Your awful stay away from WWE never ever come back please and ty
And she's only 32 years of age
❤ Mercedes on her journey
Great interview. Love the CEO. ✨❤️
Great conversation! Hope Nessa interviews more wrestlers.
Nessa show is off the chain. Love watching your show . And I love watching AEW Dynamite, Rampage and collision alot on tbs and TNT.
@@TheBurnonme Nice!
I'm so proud of her for everything. How she's doing, who she's becoming... just everything. She has gone through so much these last 4 years, and most of it we didn't even know about. But she took time to herself, followed her heart and made such a big comeback. For 8-9 years Mercedes has been one of my biggest inspirations, everything that she does is just truly fantastic. Watching her change SO much history in the WWE was such a surreal moment and something I can truly never forget. From seeing her perform in the first ever women's Elimination Chamber match and being a part of the first female WWE tag teams to being one of the first black women to main event in a WrestleMania match. I'm so happy for her by taking the courage to listen to herself and decide, "Maybe this isn't right anymore." and moving on. I bet it wasn't easy but look where she is now. I once heard; "Sometimes you need to have a breakdown to have a breakthrough." And I'm glad she had hers. I'm very glad my parents allowed me to watch wrestling again at the time they did so I could discover the name 'Sasha Banks.' No matter the name, or the place she is, Mercedes will continue to shine a light in my life, and I will always forever be eternally grateful of her story and her words of wisdom.
The reason why I love her is because she always aim high, higher than whatsoever altitude and at the end of the day,she gets what she wants
Shes one of my favorites female wrestler ..SASHA BANKS..along wd Charlotte Becky. Bailey and bianca
I love Mercedes. For her to sit and have this conversation, it means she felt respected by the journalist.
The GOAT! You can hate Mercedes all you want, but she's the best.
No she's not. Keep it 100. She is talented in the ring but not the best. She is cringe on the mic. I'm not hating on her. You're entitled to your own opinion but she isn't the best women's wrestler.
She's not the best, period.
@@maraviyoso8473well why are you here if u dislike her??
@@mirbeenlikethis because I can
@@seifuddinassabur6934agreed
Nessa is a great interviewer. I enjoy seeing Mercedes Monaè.
Good interview so far!!!
I seen this segment already and I'm still proud of you❤❤❤❤
Mercedes Mone is the top female wrestler right now. Her look and in ring work are fabulous. Much respect to her taking care of her family.
Great interview and chemistry. Really happy for all of Mone's success.
They gotta have Nessa be the go to for AEW interviews at Hot 97. Glad she's doing well there.
Interview??? This is just PR
Congratulations to Mercedes! She's living her dreams. That's a great accomplishment 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
who is the interviewer, she did her big one
Miss her.....
Comeback fr ❤💙
Come back where?
She cut a better promo when she ain’t trying to
Most of them do
most of those promos are scripted and sound cheesy sometimes. Look at how Roman turned out when they let him be more of himself with his tribal chief gimmick, he's golden
Well she better!...or else that would mean she's just bad at being herself! lol
@@Marzellus1991 never liked Roman’s gimmick i feel like he’s just there back when he fought Dean Ambrose he was more likable in my opinion the tribal stuff is odd 2 me but it worked for the rock
yes, she should just be real on TV, this was awesone
Love her, and her journey to get where she's at. She's such an inspiration.
shes so beautiful.
both of them
dude realy there are much more beautiful like skt blue much more wow man really look at her wow , and i have always seen comment before guys calling her horse face for years i did not see her like that but now i do , wait how old are 15
@@michaelruiz6616 how old are 15? what?
@@michaelruiz6616it’s not a beauty contest it’s someone’s opinion get over it she’s BEAUTIFUL stay mad hater mwaaah
I’ve been a fan of hers since her nxt and she really cares about wrestling and anyone she wrestles it’s an ultimate classic. When she left wwe I understood why and I respect her decision and so should a lot of other people because she’s the best in the world.
The love of money is the root of all evil.
So damn dramatic I’m crying
Mercedes Money Aka Sasha Banks I respect...you are one of the best Female Wresters of all all time...miss you in de WWE
Please come back😢
Absolutely one of The Goats! Love this gal❤So proud of her dedication to her craft. We KNOW what she brings into any ring. And shes still pretty!
Her story is so inspiring and her commitment to her family and craft is amazing.
shes a legend
🤧🤧🤭🤭
Eh..
@@_WF23 its true
The wrestlemania “headliner” accomplishment is cheap and wasted. 2 day manias and finishing the 1st night makes you a glorified midcarder. Not a headliner or main eventer. She brings down the stock of everyone she works with and thinks she’s better than she is. She botched her debut in njpw, got Naomi fired, and buries everyone else, and she can’t talk. Supporting her is one thing being in cult following her like a god that can do no wrong is what makes a her fan base toxic.
Nobody is going to remember that she's the highest paid woman in history when it's said and done. They're going to remember her fall out with WWE and a forgettable AEW run. She's pretty irrelevant now and WWE is red hot without needing her.
Whatever helps you sleep at night...
I agreed with what she said about the Patriots.. that's all
I'm not a Patriots Phan but I'm a big Sasha Phan though ✨
Nessa is a perfect interviewer yo
Always will be Sasha Banks to me... #StillFineAsFck
I miss seeing her in WWE so much! So many dream matches with the current women’s roster I wish she could be apart of right now. I know Bayley misses her like crazy 😩😫 people try to downplay her influence and her talent but the truth is that women’s wrestling would not be where it is today without this woman’s contributions. My favorite female wrestler of all time #CEO ❤️
Eddie Guerrero is forever goated!
Allow Mercedes to be herself in the ring when cutting promos, she will be more comfortable.
20:17 Thoughts on her being unsafe
Great interview
I'm Proud of this Young Lady so I'm More than Happy for All of Her Successes!...❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉🎉🎉🎉😮
Brit vs Mone at Wembley All in
Its a Dream Match
Agreed.
Disagree
Mercedes unsafe?????? Don’t even try to insinuate that
No one is insinuating what facts have proven. LOLOLOL Yeah, neither was Goldberg. LOLOLOL
@@mikelachey824who’d she injure besides Paige? And who’d Goldberg injure besides Bret?
@Cameo131 Bret is one of the safest wrestlers ever.
@@KTF0 point? Or just stating facts?
undertaker can attest. Goldberg was a botch machine and was one of the worst dream matches ever
We are all so glad!!! You know... ever since AEW started, EACH time someone from WWE walked out... boy, it was
COUNTDOWN TO WHEN THEY WOULD SHOW UP AT AEW!
Each and every one! From the now legendary Brodie Lee, to Matt Hardy... to FTR... Athena... Toni Storm!!!
and can you imagine the moment Mercedes walked out of WWE?
YOU have NO idea what a viral storm that was from a fan's point of view.
WE salivated and got really excited!
She's gonna show up at AEW!
She's gonna show up at AEW!
OMG, she's gonna show up on Dynamite!
And of course, the New Japan swerve was a surrprise!
I began watching new Japan because Mercedes would show up there.
it was an earthquake when we first saw her confront Kairi Sane.
It was UNREAL. It's Sasha Banks in Japan.
It was like a dream.
And to see Willow first fight Mercedes in New Japan. That was unreal as well.
And finally... here we are . With the CEO in AEW.
Welcome home to where the Best Wrestle!!!
This is the prettiest interview I've ever seen! ❤
Sasha Banks > Mercedes Mone
Mercedes didn't know your love for crystal 🤔💯🔥❤️💲🌹... You living your best life💯🔥❤️💲😊..
I love Mercedes and have been a fan since 2005. In my top 3. But I have to say some of those interviews sounds like the questions were prepped by her team. It’s the same questions in every interview leading to the same answers.
What I find so funny is how in past interviews it’s credited her cousin Snoop Dogg got her into wrestling and Eddie Guerrero was released from his contract in 2001 over addition issues and didn’t return until 4/1/2002 but now that she in AEW her whole story has changed
Her story has never changed from day one
@@mashawanaavhashoni1766 cap because she said it was her cousin who got her into wrestling taking her to her first wrestling event and then she wanted to be a wrestler
@@strawhatdaprince2643 lies, she has always said she started loving wrestling at 10 years old, and she wanted to be like Eddie and the girls in Japan, snoop only took her to her first wrestling show that's it but he didn't have anything with her wanting to be a wrestler
@@mashawanaavhashoni1766 we can go back and forth all day long I know what her story was and where it changed she has done a lot of wwe stuff maybe some of her story was Kayfabe Maybe it was mixed with truth. I’m only going off of what I’ve heard her say.
What a stupid comment. Omg she was off by 5 whole months! My god where do you people come from? This is why people think wrestling fans are a bunch of weirdo losers.
in WWE she didn't open her mouth, WWE were smart enough to tape over her mouth
Me and my sister were there live at Forbidden Door.
Top comments = positive comments
Newest comments = how people really feel about her
Rosenberg wasn’t allowed to interview her
WHY
Mercedes mone I love her so much
She deserves to be champion
Mone is a natural heel, its hard to like her a face..
Rosenberg wasn’t doing this interview. We all know where his loyalties (check) lie.
Can’t get mad at that. 😂
Her character is legit “CEO” her ego is part of her story so chill she deserves to be and act that great for a reason 💵💰💰

Been with this boss since she was at NXT till now
The first and only black WWE Divas champion was Alicia Fox.
She definitely don’t like her husband but he make her outfit so 🤷🏾♂️
She's a spoiled brat
@@RichardH.MysticJessieFan6425 yeah, don't wanna be on a deserted island with him. Which is what I don't understand.
Mercedes seem much happier since she left
Was only watching because of how much of a disaster i heard this interview was but can't get pass her being too much of a primadonna
Next time its probably better to post this before the actual event takes place
31:38 She definitely yell at her husband
I’m curious as to whether she’s still with her husband, if they are, do have problems behind the scenes, or if we don’t hear from him because he’s still working in the WWE.
@@aaronharris3072 how the hell would you she not take him with her on a deserted island, just her dogs? And we don't see them together in photos as of late.
It should have been Sasha Banks vs Trish Stratus instead of Charlotte Flair.
Good to see Mercedes back wrestling again and she looks good
People dont realize wwe creative really doesnt give u the creative freedom u want.
They gave her hell because she wasnt happy.....ALOT OF YALL ARE AT JOBS THAT PAY A QUARTER OF WHAT SHE GETS AND YALL DONT LEAVE.
Shout out to her for actually having the guts to leave an unhappy worl environment
Yeah how did that work out for WCW give guys like Hogsn creative control? Oh yeah there is no more WCW.
Sasha banks and the boss and the titles and the wrestlelamia main event will always be her most iconic moment lol, so nice try.
The girl loves her crystals 😅
Aww not surprise Rosenberg didnt do the interview.
Add blue is my favorite color too
great interview. she is the best champion ever I love the CEO
Mass stand up 🙌🙌🙌💪
The problem is she talks like a total mark versus being in a heel character like can she just watch a sherri Martell or heel Trish tape i never like breaking kayfab for a interview putting over your opponent
Im a bug toni storm and mercedes fan. Ive said for a while they had to evolve from toni being hot chick who can wrestle and she became timeless. Mercedes changing to CEO from boss isnt enough she needs a stable. She needs to be a boss of something or a group to make it ring more. She needs to own it more in interviews and stop being happy and talking about eddie. She shoukd lesn into the iwc hating her and say they are haters
She's good at response over WWE departure
All the hate she been getting is all because of those salty mfs still mad she ain’t resign with WWE. Keep mashin Mercedes 💯 💵
The raitings go down when she's on!!
Yes, fans are so salty. Question: How much has she pushed the ratings up for AEW?
@@evacody1249 Yeah so? She can’t make a decent living cause y’all mad????
Mercedes replacing Jade was like johnny Gill replacing Bobby brown in New edition,pure talent replacing a star. Worked for both parties.
Mercedes Mone is a very skilled wrestler!
Why isn’t Rosenberg conducting this interview
Because Rosenberg is literally being paid by WWE as well as he has a contract with them. It would not look good optics-wise
That WWE check.
Elaborate please @@mykoniichistorychannel
conflict of interest
I'm so proud of her, black is king
How passionate she talks about watching wrestling ❤️
Are the Boston Patriots NFL or MLB?
When you don’t honor 3 contracts in a row…leave twice refusing to work, why would they give you megastar money?!? I’m a Sasha fan and she will do great things for her career but for the money she is making it hasn’t made a bit of difference for the company. She will be home in WWE within 2 years.
If the WWE Don’t honor their word why stay?
@@TEDrew well the WWE she walked out on and the WWE of today are two completely different businesses…second, it’s a pre-determined product…it takes work from both sides, you don’t just bounce on the company/fans and say F it…in AEW she has full creative control, Tony Kahn is so desperate for talent that he’s allowing that and as you see she’s had 2 matches and won 2 titles, makes sense.
@@TheNYJets15😂😂 green cargill got a belt in her first or 2nd match. Dont be so bitter E drone. She stood up for herself, backed herself and told them to shove it. Now she gets to control her own career, gets full support to act, owns her own IP'S and is happy. Dont be so salty.
@@Amiga1200Mark She's the modern equivalent of Hulk Hogan. Full of egos. She's so self centred.
When things don't go her way, she's like F**k it, that don't work for me & just walks out every damn time. She's a spoilt brat & thinks she's as big a name as her cousin Snoop Dogg
I would like to have a CEO CEO Mercedes mone poster for myself
So I can put it on my bedroom wall
I really Love this woman, and everything she has accomplished, I do believe she'll eventually return to the WWE and it'll be the Biggest return ever! Under a new regime The Triple H era ❤ lets follow the Mon'e 💰💰💰
by that time she will be banks not ceo crap
