Sasha Banks Return: Who Is Mercedes Mone’s Brother Joshua Referenced in Big Business Promo? Here’s Everything You Need to Know

An open secret finally came to the surface during AEW’s weekly show, AEW Dynamite. A special called Big Business was held at the TD Garden, where the debut of a major star came to fruition. And in this case, the lights went out to make way for Mercedes Mone FKA Sasha Banks.

Her first AEW promo was emotional, to say the least. The Boss talked about her history in wrestling, which included reinventing the women’s division, making it to a PPV main event, and another open secret that stems from her hardships from the past. She had to drop out of school to care for her younger brother as a young girl. But who is her brother and why did she have to take care of him? Let’s find out.

Who is Mercedes Mone’s brother?

Well, the world knows who the Boss Mercedes Mone is. However, very little information is about her brother Joshua. And that may be because Mone prefers keeping him sheltered from the world, as Joshua suffers from autism. And unfortunately, he had to face hardships in his childhood because of it.

Mone has been very open about her troubled childhood, as she often referred to her father as ‘deadbeat’. She stated in a 2017 open interview on the podcast “Making Their Way to the Ring” that her mother suffered abuse at the hands of her father. The new AEW star also revealed that she was terrified of him as a child. He supposedly left the family to start over in Oregon by the time she turned two. Thus, Mone’s family relocated to Minnesota from Oregon. And in Minnesota, her brother, who had already experienced bullying in Oregon, encountered it again. Banks left formal schooling to take care of her brother and help her mother find employment as the bullying persisted.

On Open Late with Pete Rosenberg Banks revealed, “I have a brother with disabilities and he was getting abused in school. We were living in a hotel and my mom needed to have a job. So I was like ‘I will quit regular school and just stay at home and be with my brother. So you can have a job.”

Mone also opened up on the fact that getting homeschooled and her dedication to her brother led to her not having any friends growing up. But that did not hinder her plans of becoming a pro wrestler. And she says that her brother remains a huge part of her life. In fact, he regularly attends her pro wrestling shows.

There is a reason why Mone is called the Boss. There was no way that she would let life dominate her. Instead, she fought her way through it and reached superstardom. And now, after being the hottest free agent in pro wrestling, she is a part of the AEW roster to bring a revolution to the women’s division. What do you make of Mone’s relationship story and her relationship with her brother? Let us know in the comments section below.
