Mercedes Mone is set to make an appearance outside of professional wrestling while she is away from AEW programming. Having recently lost the TBS Championship to Willow Nightingale on Dynamite’s New Year’s Smash episode, Mone has taken a hiatus from AEW following a heated confrontation. Although she won’t be competing in AEW matches for the time being, she is confirmed to feature on Paramount Network’s reality TV show, Bar Rescue.
The upcoming season 10 trailer for Bar Rescue reveals that the series will premiere on February 22nd, with Mercedes Mone joining the cast. According to Paramount’s official press release, the show will include notable celebrity guests such as *NSYNC’s Chris Kirkpatrick and pro wrestler and actress Mercedes Varnado. Together, they will visit cities across Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, and Kentucky to help struggling businesses under the guidance of host Jon Taffer.
Additionally, Mone, who has earned several titles in the independent wrestling scene, is scheduled to appear at Banger Zone Wrestling’s APOGEE event in March. In a recent revelation by legendary ring announcer John Cena Sr., Mone’s journey included moments of doubt about continuing wrestling before ultimately signing with WWE and becoming known as Sasha Banks.
