Mercedes Mone reveals the WWE "wizard" who saw a star in her: "Believed in me at a time when belief felt foreign"

The current AEW TBS Champion, Mercedes Mone (fka Sasha Banks), referred to a WWE legend as a 'wizard' who saw a star in her. She also revealed that the legend believed in her.

The WWE "wizard" in question is the late great Hall of Famer, Dusty Rhodes. The American Dream was a mentor to several stars who are currently off to big things. Dusty also mentored the current AEW TBS Champion, Mercedes Mone, years ago.

Mercedes explained how Dusty was like a wizard to her who guided her towards being a superstar. In her Mone Mag newsletter, The CEO stated the following while talking about Dusty Rhodes:

"He was like a wizard, weaving spells of confidence and creativity, showing me the bigger picture, and guiding me toward the superstar I was destined to become. Dusty believed in me at a time when belief felt foreign. His unwavering support ignited a fire within me, and I will forever be grateful for his guidance."

Mone continued stating how Dusty taught her every aspect of wrestling:

"As I stand here today, achieving milestones and making my mark in the wrestling world, I know Dusty would be proud. He taught me that being a superstar isn't just about athleticism but connection, personality, and charisma. I carry his lessons with me every time I step into that ring, knowing that he believed in my potential long before I did." [H/T: Mone Mag]

Mercedes Mone is now all on her own in AEW

After successfully defending her TBS title at the recent pay-per-view, Mercedes showed up on AEW Dynamite with Kamille. Mone was about to fire The Brickhouse, but Kamille quit on her before that.

Moreover, The CEO is currently looking for a new muscle after Kamille left her. Only time will tell who will join forces with Mercedes.
