Mercedes Moné reacts to being compared to Hulk Hogan; gives herself a new name

Mercedes Moné (fka Sasha Banks) has shared a new nickname for herself that she wants fans to use. This new moniker of hers is a reference to a certain former AEW World Champion.

The CEO currently holds six titles and will be gunning for a seventh championship at All In: Texas, the Women's World Title. She currently holds AEW's TBS Championship, the commemorative title for winning the Owen Hart Cup, the CMLL World Women's Championship, the EWA Women's Championship, and the two titles that form the RevPro Undisputed British Women's Title.

Mercedes Moné held an Instagram Live after AEW Dynamite last night. On the show, she successfully defended her TBS Title against Mina Shirakawa. She later went live and replied to some comments and questions from fans. Moné also commented on the 'Mercedes Hogan' nickname that fans have given her due to her recent title wins. The CEO wished to be called 'Mercedes Omega' instead.

"Don't call me Mercedes Hogan, call me Mercedes Omega," Moné said.

Growing up, Enzo admired former world champions like AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, Bryan Danielson, Triple H, and Randy Orton for their finishing moves. As an adult, he started to appreciate their character work, as they juggled between heel and babyface gimmicks.

If allowed to produce one final storyline involving his idols, he would have Orton lock horns with John Cena, would be their one last big feud as both of them seem to be approaching the tail end of their careers.
