Former WWE star commented on Mercedes Mone's (Sasha Banks) love for pro wrestling

Mercedes Mone is one of the most decorated female wrestlers of the current generation. The match between her and Bayley on NXT in 2015 is regarded as one of the greatest female matches ever and raised the standard for women's wrestling.

Sasha Banks was able to emulate similar success on the main roster as she won the RAW Women's Championship five times, the SmackDown Women's Championship once, and the Women's Tag Team title thrice during her stint with the company.

During a recent episode of FTR with Dax Harwood podcast, former WWE Superstar disclosed that the Blueprint aspires to be as great as legends like Stone Cold, The Rock, and Hulk Hogan.

"She didn't get into wrestling just to get into wrestling. She got into wrestling to make a difference. Not just women's wrestling, but for all of wrestling. She wanted to be looked at in the same light as Stone Cold Steve Austin or Hulk Hogan or The Rock," said Harwood. [H/T: Fightful]

Mercedes Mone kickstarted a new phase in her career at Wrestle Kingdon 17. She was seen in a wrestling ring for the first time since infamously walking out of the Stamford-based promotion last year due to issues with the company's creative team.
