Sasha Banks aka Mercedes Mone is currently one of the hottest topics in pro wrestling. The former WWE Women’s Champion would leave the company last year over creative disputes. She then remained off television for around one year before heading toward NJPW.
Mone would make her NJPW debut earlier this year and win the IWGP Women’s Championship after defeating Kairi. Recently, talks surfaced about Banks entering AEW with her IWGP Women’s Championship. Current AEW star Saraya had a perfect response for her.

Almost five years ago, Sasha Banks’ accidental botched move performed on Saraya’s spine almost ended her career. Saraya aka Paige would temporarily retire from in-ring action for a long period before heading to AEW.
Post joining AEW, she would become one of the top stars in the company. And she recently issued a warning to Banks aka Mercedes Mone.
Saraya would love to wrestle Jamie Hayter or Mercedes Moné at AEW All In.

It was recently revealed by Fightful that, Saraya would either be wrestling Jamie Hayter or Mone at AEW All-In. And as soon as it was revealed, the English wrestler had a fitting reply ready for Mone. She said, “Do we open that Forbidden Door? Mercedes Moné, I would love to face her there.”
Saraya would be ready to avenge her career-ending injury from five years ago, and the prospect of Mone facing off a young star with a point to prove is undoubtedly riveting television. And, after she laid out her four-word warning, fans might be in line for one of the best fights of the night. But how exactly did the rivalry between the two stars forge? How did the infamous incident that almost ended Saraya’s career transpire?
How did Sasha Banks almost end Paige aka Saraya’s career five years ago?
Injuries are a part of the wrestling world, and almost five years ago, Paige might have entered the ring for the last time. During a live house show for WWE, Banks would hit a stiff kick to Paige’s back, causing her to re-injure her already injured neck.
This devastating injury would force the two-time WWE Divas Champion to retire from in-ring action. Fans would blame Banks for her reckless and stiff nature for it. However, despite retiring from in-ring competition, Paige would be active on television as a manager for several wrestlers and as General Manager.
