Mercedes Justine Kaestner-Varnado (born January 26, 1992) is an American professional wrestler currently signed to All Elite Wrestling under the ring name Mercedes Moné. She is best known for her time in WWE, where she wrestled under the name Sasha Banks.Mercedes trained in Chaotic Wrestling and debuted for them in 2010 under the name Mercedes KV, where she teamed with Nikki Roxx and won their Women's Title belt from Alexxis in 2011. She's also worked for NWA On Fire, Beyond, NECW and Top Rope Promotions, and won the RWC No Limit Title belt in 2012 before signing to WWE.Under her former ring name, she was one fourth of WWE's "Four Horsewomen" (alongside Charlotte Flair, Bayley, and Becky Lynch), a cohort of four women who came through NXT and were a major part of the revolution of women's wrestling in WWE, through their stellar matches.She is a one-time NXT Women's Champion, a five-time Raw Women's Champion, a one-time SmackDown Women's Champion, one of the inaugural Women's Tag Team Champions together with Bayley (titles they've held twice, and the second team to accomplish the feat), the fourth Women's Triple Crown Champion and the third Women's Grand Slam Champion. In 2020, she also made her acting debut as Koska Reeves on The Mandalorian.After controversially walking out on WWE in 2022 along with her then-tag team partner Naomi, Mercedes's status with the company was in question for the rest of the year, and it was eventually reported that negotiations for a new contract between her and the company had fallen through. On January 4, 2023, she made her first appearance for New Japan Pro-Wrestling at Wrestle Kingdom 17, joining the roster of their women's promotion World Wonder Ring ST★RDOM and debuting the Mercedes Moné name. She would defeat Kairi to become IWGP Women's Champion for the first time on February 18, 2023; that December, it was announced that her NJPW/Stardom contract had ended. On March 13, 2024, she debuted for AEW at Dynamite: Big Busine$$, a special episode effectively named for her. | |

Sasha Banks (Wrestling) / int_17ce80aa | comment |
All There in the Manual: She's a first cousin of Snoop Dogg, as William Regal has mentioned once or twice. This was more regularly brought up upon her advancement to the main roster, with the (somewhat) logical conclusion of Snoop accompanying Sasha to the ring for a WrestleMania entrance. In 2019, she received a remixed entrance theme, with Snoop contributing the rap verses. | |

Sasha Banks (Wrestling) / int_19d1c1ae | comment |
Always Someone Better: On both sides of this trope. She's talented enough that multiple wrestlers have rated either her or Asuka as the top women's wrestler out there. However, in 5 years on the main (Raw/Smackdown) WWE roster, she's never been scripted to have a successful singles title defense in any of her first 5 reigns as Raw Women's Champion, and is currently on track to have the worst track record at WrestleMania of all WWE Superstars, also at 0 wins, 6 losses, as of WrestleMania 37. FINALLY earned her first victory albeit in a tag team match at WrestleMania 38. | |

Sasha Banks (Wrestling) / int_1a01fd1c | comment |
Kayfabe: When not getting emotional during milestone and watershed moments, she is known for never breaking character. There are only three recorded instances of it, one of which was written into the story: Her backstage interview with Renee Young after winning the title where Renee specifically addressed questions to Mercedes the performer instead of Sasha the character. The curtain call with the rest of the Four Horsewomen after dropping the title to Bayley at Takeover: Brooklyn. The promo several weeks later, in which she explained the above away as Bayley having earned her respect "for that night only," opened with her voice audibly shaking as she talked about the overwhelmingly positive reception to the first title match. | |

Sasha Banks (Wrestling) / int_1c3d047e | comment |
The Rival: Was developing sort of friendly rivalries with Nikki Roxx and Ivy Fit, not so friendly Mistress Belmont in her short US independent stint. Bayley. They've probably got the record for most singles matches between two women in NXT. The Undertaker praised one of them as his favourite wrestling bout in ages. Also, their rivalry extends beyond the squared circle whether it's trying to be a fellow wrestlers BFF or in video games on Up, Up, Down, Down. | |

Distaff Counterpart | |
Sasha Banks (Wrestling) / int_2fc21a19 | comment |
Distaff Counterpart: Mercedes has made no secret that she's a HUGE Eddie Guerrero fan, and her character is inspired by his as a heel and her wrestling is definitely inspired by him and other WCW-style cruiserweights. She's even mentioned that she'd use a Frog Splash at Manianote She did.. Between the frequent use of her knees (see Extremity Extremist below), the arrogance when winning and the total cowardice when she's losing, the one-word Red Baron that screams "top dog", and the association from looking up to a Flair to looking down at everyone, the Boss almost becomes reminiscent of one of her own bosses… Also somewhat to Kevin Owens. The two have, at least in WWE, longstanding histories with a lovable underdog babyface character (with Bayley in this case playing the role of Sasha's Sami Zayn) that, for better or worse, often dictate most of their storylines and booking (and ultimately lead to both Zayn and Bayley undergoing their first WWE heel turns to support Owens and Sasha). Also, each had an initial run of success not long after debuting only to be oddly pushed down the card and locked out of the title scene. | |

Sasha Banks (Wrestling) / int_3287773c | comment |
Lovable Alpha Bitch: Even as a heel, she's loved by many fans both for her sass and for being genuinely Badass Adorable. The original meaning of the Team BAD acronym ("Beautiful Alpha Divas") almost lampshades this — though ironically, this was the version Naomi came up with before Sasha joined the gang. In-universe, she's also shown that she is capable of showing a softer side, notably with her tearful interview after winning the NXT Women's Championship or her sincere hugging of Charlotte after a hard-fought match. | |

Kick the Dog | |
Sasha Banks (Wrestling) / int_34dcfc96 | comment |
Kick the Dog: Audrey Marie cruelly sent letters from a secret admirer to her. Then attacked her from behind and claimed it was in retaliation for Sasha upstaging her. This angle was run on the main roster in mid-2013, but with A.J. Lee and Kaitlyn as Audrey and Sasha, respectively. After Bayley lost to Charlotte at the live special, Sasha came out just to talk trash and rub Bayley's loss in her face. During the Iron (Wo)Man match at NXT Takeover: Respect, after damaging Bayley heavily by tossing her into the video screen, she proceeds to scream at Izzy, a noted fan of Bayley, making the girl cry. It was quite extreme for even her, as the announcers (including Corey Graves, who had previously defended Sasha's ruthless strategy earlier) were quick to point out. Speaking of the first example with Bayley, karma eventually bit Sasha back — albeit post-Heel–Face Turn — when she tried to be a Graceful Loser after ultimately losing her own feud with Charlotte. Instead, Nia Jax attacked Sasha — thus worsening her post-Hell in a Cell 2016 injuries — just For the Evulz. In 2018, Sasha portrays herself as a terrible friend towards Bayley. First, she betrayed her at the first ever Women's Royal Rumble by eliminating her, then the next month, at the first ever women's Elimination Chamber, when she kicked Bayley off the pod there are on while smiling smugly at her. While Bayley justified both times as every person for themselves, she berated Sasha for betraying her friend so easily. After her 2019 return, Sasha interrupted several promos of Natalya reminiscing about her late father to attack her and mock her, calling her a crybaby and on one point saying, "Go to hell, Nattie, and tell your daddy I said hi." | |

Sasha Banks (Wrestling) / int_375bb8f2 | comment |
Good Is Dumb: She only won about two matches as a face and both were treated as upsets—with fancy pins. She didn't gain a finisher or start winning regularly until she turned heel. She's also very fond of using this as a tactic on faces. At Takeover: Respect, Bayley offered her a handshake...and got smashed into the mat for it. | |

Worthy Opponent: Subverted after she won the Women's Championship. She took Charlotte's offer of a handshake...but then immediately rubbed it in her face that she had won the title. It was eventually played straight after Charlotte earned another title match, which Sasha won. The two women hugged sincerely afterwards. And definitely played straight with Bayley, after she won the Women's Championship from her. Without hesitation, Sasha burst into tears and hugged Bayley. As of 2016 she came to regard Becky as such. As opposed to her usual mocking of opponents, she showed a sort of grudging respect towards her. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Sasha Banks may be a ruthless, near-heartless competitor, but Mercedes Kaestner-Varnado is not. Examples of her nicer side coming out include: Her tearful hug with Bayley after their match at Takeover: Brooklyn. At Takeover: Respect, when the entire roster including Stephanie McMahon and Triple H came out to hand her flowers and congratulate her on her performance, she literally collapsed in tears. Also from Respect: did she make Bayley's mega-fan Izzy cry with pitch-perfect heeling? Absolutely. However, when the cameras turned off...she gave her massive bouquet of flowers to Izzy as an apology. | |

Characterization Marches On: When she first turned heel, she was a generic Beta Bitch to Summer Rae. As time went on, she adopted the familiar look of sunglasses, rhinestones and tacky outfits. After turning face on the main roster, the character became a goofier, sassier version of her real life personality. | |

The So-Called Coward: While her first instinct at the start of nearly every match she's in seems to be to make a hasty retreat from her opponent, Sasha has proved that when push comes to shove, and shove comes to shove-through-the-wall, she will stand firm against her opponent. Case in point; standing up to Dana Brooke and Emma and being willing to fight both of them by herself. | |

Heel–Face Turn | |
Sasha Banks (Wrestling) / int_617f0563 | comment |
Speaking of the first example with Bayley, karma eventually bit Sasha back — albeit post-Heel–Face Turn — when she tried to be a Graceful Loser after ultimately losing her own feud with Charlotte. Instead, Nia Jax attacked Sasha — thus worsening her post-Hell in a Cell 2016 injuries — just For the Evulz. | |

Chronic Backstabbing Disorder | |
Sasha Banks (Wrestling) / int_7c862b8a | comment |
Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: All four of WWE's Four Horsewomen have turned on each other at least once. But with Charlotte almost exclusively wrestling as a heel on Raw/Smackdown, Becky being a Tweener, and Bayley being a pure babyface until 2019, Sasha was the most likely one to pull a Heel–Face Revolving Door and turn on someone, usually Bayley. Corey Graves said it best: It's frequent enough that the trope has become almost entirely literal. Sasha's use of the Double Knee Backbreaker is called the "Backstabber", which is used in almost every match to set up her finishing submission, the "Banks Statement". In 2020, for once, a heel Bayley betrayed Sasha, and would "pillmanize" Sasha's neck twice in the following weeks, claiming the attack was preemptive. As this had a bit of truth, Sasha's resultant Heel–Face Turn was more of a Hazy-Feel Turn. | |

Expository Hairstyle Change | |
Sasha Banks (Wrestling) / int_7efd2e30 | comment |
Expository Hairstyle Change: After splitting from Charlotte and Summer and trying to make a name for herself, her formerly dark blonde hair became brown. Likewise when she first challenged Charlotte for the Women's Championship, she added red to her hair. After she split from Team BAD, her hair became pink and she wore it straight. Following WrestleMania it became a milder shade of magenta, and then purple following her final rematch against Charlotte. Then right after her Face–Heel Turn in 2019, she ditched a purple wig to reveal blue underneath. Her debut in New Japan Pro-Wrestling sees her with orange/red hair pattern in the styles of flames that's burning a blue pattern, a signal that her past as Sasha Banks is done. | |

Laser-Guided Karma: At NXT Takeover: Brooklyn, she repeatedly slammed Bayley's arm onto the steel steps in an attempt to incapacitate her and successfully defend her title. Not only did it not work, but at the following special NXT Takeover: Respect, Bayley decided to return the favor and slam Sasha's arm on the steps during their iron-man rematch. For Bayley, however, it worked successfully and allowed her to escape the Bank Statement and retain the title by forcing a submission at the last second. | |

Finishing Move: Bank Statement, a bridging crossface, often set up by a double knee backbreaker. Early on, she used a straight-jacket neckbreaker slam called Bankrupt, but it was later used more as a signature move. As Mercedes Moné, she still uses the Bank Statement but she added another one in her repertoire, a Gory Special dropped into a DDT which she calls the Moné Maker. | |

Corrupt the Cutie: She managed to do pretty much exactly the same thing to Becky Lynch as Summer Rae had done to her, with very similar results. Ironically on the main roster it was Becky who was able to bring about a Heel–Face Turn for her. Ultimately ended up doing the same thing to Bayley, who turned heel for the first time in WWE because of Sasha's Toxic Friend Influence and Bayley's extreme loyalty to her. | |

Fun with Acronyms | |
Sasha Banks (Wrestling) / int_c25c7890 | comment |
Fun with Acronyms: Sasha must really like acronyms, as she's been in three stables with acronyms in their names: She, Summer Rae, and Charlotte were BFFs, the Beautiful Fierce Females. She and Becky Lynch named themselves Team BAE (Best At Everything). She later joined Tamina Snuka and Naomi as Team B.A.D. This originally stood for Best At Dominating, but was changed to Beautiful Alpha Divas (at least on Naomi's Twitter the week before Sasha showed up) and then to Beautiful And Dangerous—all three names being similar to the above team names Sasha's associated with, making her connection to the group feel like Fridge Brilliance. Even her nickname "The Boss" is one as well, with "BOSS" being short for "Built On Self Success". | |

Shout-Out: Her WrestleMania 32 ring gear was one to Eddie Guerrero, as was the frog splash she performed during the match. Eddie's nephew Chavo Guerrero Jr. didn't appreciate it very much though — he claimed that she did the move badly. She changed her Twitter display name to $asha Broken Bank$ whilst she was out with a back injury. Matt acknowledged it himself. Gave one to Trish Stratus and Lita in a Worked Shoot promo about the Women's Revolution when she returned from that injury. | |

Power Trio: The longest-lasting and best-known incarnation of the BFFs, which included Sasha (obviously), Summer Rae, and Charlotte. Sasha was added to Team BAD by Stephanie McMahon when Naomi demanded that she and Tamina Snuka get to take part in the battle for control in the main roster Divas's division between Team Bella (the Bella Twins and Alicia Fox) and Team PCB (Paige, Becky Lynch, and Charlotte). | |

Toxic Friend Influence | |
Sasha Banks (Wrestling) / int_cdad4b25 | comment |
Toxic Friend Influence: She is heavily implied to be the cause of Bayley's late-2019 Face–Heel Turn. Bayley was conflicted when Sasha marked her return by beating the hell out of Natalya and Becky Lynch, saying she considered all three of them her friends and didn't know what else to say, but when she tried to prevent Sasha from hurting Becky again, she ended up turning around and beating up Becky herself. Ironically, though, this backfired for her as Bayley would go on to become an increasingly unpleasant and self-deluding heel who kept Sasha in her shadow. | |

Unlimited Wardrobe: Sasha met her husband Sarath Ton ("Mikaze") when they were indie wrestlers, and he designed his own wrestling gear then. He started to do hers as well, and was eventually hired by WWE in a seamster role. He often gets to put a lot of her design requests and accents into her in-ring and out of ring attire. | |

Hypocrite: Whenever Bayley and Sasha feuded in the main roster, the latter often calls out to Bayley for betrayal and destroying their friendship. However, Sasha often leaves out of the fact that she had betrayed Bayley several times since their NXT days. This is more prominent in the beginning of 2018 where Sasha betrayed Bayley during the Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber matches but has the audacity to complained when Bayley begins to abandon her during tag team matches. | |

Dark Magical Girl: There's strong subtext that a lot of Sasha's bluster and confidence is covering up for her insecurity. And the fact that she breaks character pretty readily whenever she's shown an ounce of legitimate compassion by Bayley or Renee Young seems to indicate that Sasha is lonely and scared, not truly cynical and bitter. | |
