"You know where to find me" - Former WWE Superstar calls out Mercedes Mone (fka Sasha Banks) for dream match

Mercedes Mone (formerly known as Sasha Banks in WWE) is one of the most talked about wrestlers in the world at the moment. Considering her star power, it is no surprise that many want to square off against her. One of them is Taya Valkyrie.

Taya Valkyrie is a former WWE star. She made her NXT debut on the April 13, 2021, episode of the former black-and-gold brand, where she interrupted Dakota Kai and then NXT Women's Champion Raquel Rodriguez.

After spending a few months with the Stamford-based promotion in November of the same year, she was released from the company. Taya Valkyrie is currently signed with IMPACT Wrestling.

During an interview with the Comedy Store Wrestling podcast, Valkyrie praised Mercedes Mone and challenged the former WWE RAW Women's Champion.

"Well I’m gonna say her and she’s now out in the world and free to play. She has a huge respect for Lucha Libre, which for me is very important and something that I hold dear and close to my heart. So why not Mercedes Mone? Mercedes, you know where to find me," Valkyrie said. "I just wanna talk about her entire look because she came out looking like money. She looked great. Even though that crowd was being not as loud as people expected, just because that’s just how it is, I think that she just commanded that stage and walked that runway and killed it." [H/T: Fightful]
