Mercedes Mone had backstage reunion with former WWE Superstar: "I appreciate a good brother like him"

The current AEW TBS Champion, Mercedes Mone (fka Sasha Banks) disclosed her reunion with a former WWE Superstar. She met the star backstage at a recent event.

The former WWE Superstar in question is Mustafa Ali. Ali was released from the Stamford-based promotion last year. Mustafa recently had a match at the NJPW Capital Collision event in Washington. On the same show, Mercedes Mone was also slated to defend the NJPW Strong Women's title.

In the recent edition of her Mone Mag newsletter, Mercedes revealed that she had a backstage reunion with her former fellow WWE colleague, Mustafa Ali:

"Backstage at Capital Collison was incredible. Willow stopped by to say hi as did Orange Cassidy. I also got to see one of my fellow WWE coworkers, Mustafa Ali. It was so incredible to see him as he gave me such amazing advice. Funny thing is, I was just as nervous to go out and wrestle in front of 2000 fans in DC as I was to wrestle in front of 50,000 at Wembley."

The CEO further added that Ali motivated her before her match at Capital Collision:

"But Mustafa got my head right. He told me to remember who I was and that I’m the best in the world. He even went over my match with me including details that helped me so much. After the match, he came over to give me a big hug and to say how good I was. I appreciate a good brother like him." (H/T Mone Mag)
