On her status in the wrestling business: “They haven’t really got to see the CEO. They know who Sasha Banks is, but the CEO, Mercedes Moné, [is] something they’ve never seen before, and I’m ready to show them. I’m the greatest women’s wrestler of all time, 100 percent.”
On her decision to leave WWE in 2022: “I don’t like being handcuffed. The only place to grow is with change, and I needed that change.”
On the importance of black women dominating pro wrestling: “It’s been our goal. It’s the goal. It’s the dream. It’s the standard. It’s the barrier that we’ve been breaking down, and it’s letting people know that we’re here to stay and you have to get used to that standard.”
