Are you a Marvel fan? Well, then you have the former WWE star Sasha Banks by your side. The 31-year-old star has achieved many accolades, being a WWE mainstream star over the years. Recently making her way to the New Japan Pro-Wrestling, The Boss seems to do pretty well for herself there too.
But apart from having it all, Mercedes Mone (present name) had one unaccomplished dream in her life. This was nothing but to meet her childhood crush, one of the biggest Marvel Studios actors, Mark Ruffalo. Those who regularly follow and get in touch with her virtual world might know how much she admires and adores Ruffalo.

She is often outspoken about her weakness over the big screen’s ‘Bruce Banner’. Speaking to The Real back in 2018, Banks picked Ruffalo as the only superhero he would like to fight. The star noted, “I would have to choose Mark Ruffalo only because I have a big crush on him. [You want to fight him because you have a crush on him?] Yeah.”
Being quite active in the entertainment field, The Boss also tried her luck in modeling at the New York Fashion Week.

Sasha Banks’ current performance as an NJPW star
Moving to her wrestling endeavors, Banks left fans shocked, making her debut on NJPW during Wrestle Kingdom 17, following a few months of massive speculation. Currently, she possesses the IWGP Women’s Championship title after taking down Kairi at the ‘Battle in the Valley’ event back in February.
There is an ongoing buzz about the NPJW star picking AEW as her next destination, especially after Tony Khan recently put a few kinds and appreciative words about the former WWE Women’s Champion. The AEW women’s roster could have a massive boost if Mone decides to take her star power and IWGP title over to the Jacksonville-based wrestling promotion.
