Mercedes Mone had been away from pro wrestling in the United States for a very long time. She had made her way to Japan and joined the New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) to further her stellar career. While she has a legendary status as Sasha Banks in the WWE, her previous disappointment has still kept her away from the company.

While she may have come to a new pro wrestling company, the Boston Native was right at home in TD Garden. This fact was further driven ‘home’ when she exited her Mercedes-Maybach and was welcomed in the arena with thunderous “CEO” chants.
