Watch Sherri Shepherd's Interview Of Mercedes Moné

On January 13, 2025, AEW TBS Champion Mercedes Moné appeared on the Sherri show, hosted by Sherri Shepherd. During the interview, Moné reflected on her decision to leave WWE, where she was known as Sasha Banks. She described the move as "the scariest thing I’ve ever done in my whole life" but also "the most important thing," as it allowed her to "truly find" herself. She shared her transformation from "Sasha Banks the Legit Boss" to "Mercedes Moné the CEO of my own life," emphasizing her dedication to advancing women's wrestling.

Moné also spoke about her acting career, revealing that her role as Koska Reeves in The Mandalorian came about after creator Jon Favreau saw her on Hot Ones. Impressed by her personality, Favreau offered her the part, which she described as an unexpected and rewarding opportunity.

She also shared valuable advice from her cousin, Snoop Dogg, who once told her, "Sometimes in life, you’ve gotta be a hoe... You’ve gotta put your head down, do your work, and do as good as you can until you become a pimp... A pimp means to be the CEO of your life." Moné explained how this metaphor taught her the importance of perseverance and dedication as the foundation for achieving independence and success.
