Amari Miller discusses her well-known post about Sasha Banks. The former NXT Superstar, Mercedes Mone, has yet to return to wrestling. However, an ex-NXT name, Miller, who faced criticism for not recognizing Mone as an African-American back in 2022, has now opened up about how she came up with it. Speaking with an interviewer, the 27-year-old discussed the thought process she had behind the controversial remark.
Miller admitted that she made a mistake. However, she also explained how everyone has their own opinion and things on social media can easily get blown out of proportion. And that’s exactly what happened to her. Amari, who was new to the industry at the time, shared her aspirations of becoming the second-ever NXT Women’s Champion of African-American descent, following in the footsteps of someone else.
In response, a fan pointed out that Sasha Banks was the first African-American to hold the NXT Women’s title. Miller provided evidence from Google, stating that Banks is of German and African-American heritage. However, due to the backlash from fans, she had to delete the post. Now, almost two years later, Miller clarified that people may have different views, but they don’t truly know her.
Deep into the interview, Miller expressed how the past incidents affected her and caused her pain. The former NXT talent emphasized the importance of moving on after such mistakes. She referred to the trolls as individuals who thrive on controversy and use it to fill their time.
During the last quarter of 2023 and the build-up to the Royal Rumble, Mercedes Mone started gaining attention on X. Her teasing of potential moves led her fans to believe that she would be joining WWE. However, despite initial talks that fell through, it is now expected that she will make her debut in AEW very soon.
A few days ago, reliable sources reported that the former WWE Superstar is heading to the promotion led by AEW CEO. This speculation gained further credibility when the CEO announced a special edition of Dynamite, named after Mone. The event is scheduled to take place at the TD Garden in Boston, Mone’s hometown.
It is widely believed that Mone will make her highly anticipated AEW debut on March 13. She last competed at NJPW Resurgence, where she suffered a leg injury. However, she has since posted several workout clips, indicating that she is recovering. Although it is not confirmed if she is fully ready to compete in the ring, Mone is expected to strengthen the AEW Women’s division as soon as she arrives.
