Mercedes Mone had been away from pro wrestling in the United States for a very long time. She had made her way to Japan and joined the New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) to further her stellar career. While she has a legendary status as Sasha Banks in the WWE, her previous disappointment has still kept her away from the company.

While she may have come to a new pro wrestling company, the Boston Native was right at home in TD Garden. This fact was further driven ‘home’ when she exited her Mercedes-Maybach and was welcomed in the arena with thunderous “CEO” chants.
The chantings also carried the words “Welcome Home” from the highly energetic crowd. Flashing her signature pose, Mercedes Mone got straight to business and entered the AEW squared circle with a mic in hand.
