If there is one thing Sasha Banks is known for in the wrestling world apart from her incredible work, it is her hairstyles. The former WWE Women’s Champ debuted in AEW as Mercedes Mone to a thunderous pop. While fans love the fact that she is out of her injury and ready to be in the squared circle, they are not as hyped for her hairstyle. During her debut, she sported a new hair look that was in line with her new character. Taking to social media, many were impressed, while others were not.
Mercedes Mone debuts with a new moniker and new hairstyle
Whenever a wrestler makes their debut in another company, they often let go of their old gimmick. This is mostly due to the previous company having the rights to their gimmick and style. This applied to Banks, who debuted as Mone. With a white fur coat and a new hairstyle, the crowd in her hometown of Boston erupted for the former WWE Tag Team Champion. The most interesting thing to note about her new appearance was her new moniker.
