Mercedes Mone reveals 4-time WWE champion is one of her best friends, has a close relationship with him and his wife
Current AEW TBS Champion Mercedes Mone (fka Sasha Banks) revealed a former WWE US Champion as one of her best friends. She shared an interesting story with her friend as well.
The four-time WWE champion in question is Kalisto (aka Octagon Jr.). Kalisto is known for his time in the Stamford-based promotion from 2013 to his release in 2021. He won the NXT Cruiserweight and tag team championship as well as the US Championship a couple of times.
Meanwhile, current AEW TBS Champion Mercedes Mone disclosed that Kalisto and his wife are close friends with her. In the recent edition of her Mone Mag newsletter, Mercedes disclosed the following:
"Speaking of wrestle friends, one of my besties is also Kalisto. I have always been so close to him and his wife. You know how much I invest in my wardrobe, inside and outside the ring. I happen to love the store Akira in Chicago. That being the case, I went on a pretty big shopping spree when we were there for All Out."
Mone also shared a recent story as well:
"I bought so many clothes that it would be a nightmare for me to haul all those clothes to L.A. and then to Orlando. Kalisto, being an amazing friend, volunteered to take them all back for me. It was a huge relief but another reason I go hard for my wrestle friends – they go hard for me!" [H/T Mone Mag]
Mercedes Mone retained her title at AEW All Out
Mercedes Mone has been the TBS Champion since winning it at Double or Nothing on her AEW debut.
After successfully defending the title against Britt Baker at All In 2024, Mone had a title defense against Hikaru Shida at All Out recently where she retained yet again.
Britt Baker would surely love to have one more match against Mone and it remains to be seen whether the two stalwarts will butt heads once again in the near future.
Henceforth, only time will tell what challenge lies ahead next for The CEO after her successful title defense at All Out.
