Mercedes Mone is a major success story in the business of professional wrestling. She began wrestling on the independent circuit, which landed her a spot on the WWE NXT roster in the early 2010s. Under the ring name Sasha Banks, she became an integral part of the women's revolution and paved the way for a massive change in women's wrestling.

Following an abrupt exit from the company, Mone debuted a new persona upon her arrival in AEW, called The CEO. The former Sasha Banks' new gimmick, confidence, and desire to make significant strides have turned her into a global star.

In only a year since becoming part of All Elite Wrestling, Mercedes Mone has added several accolades to her resume that have elevated her star power even further. Here are three significant accomplishments that Mone has claimed during her time in the Jacksonville-based promotion.
