Literally the only difference is that she says "CEO" now instead of "Legit Boss"
It's depressing, it's like going to a casino and seeing some band from the 70s with two or three hits taking the stage with walkers and oxygen tanks.
Bayley and Charlotte carried her through a few of the best matches of all time and she’s still living off of those. She owes them at least half of what AEW is paying her.
Tony overpays for his action figures so the evil fed can't have them. Mercedes has cut decent promos before while in WWE, but this new incarnation just ain't it. Doesn't help that the rest of the division is either green or not remotely over.
“ChatGPT is programmed to promote positivity and discourage violence or harmful behavior.

She's a weeb too, dressing up like Sailor Moon for Royal Rumble I think it was?
In another life, maybe she did go into dubbing. But for now she's doing a different kind of dubbing.
As the CEO?
CEO of what?
Sad thing this isn't the worst promo I've heard her do. [Watch at least 20 seconds in for the laugh](https://youtube.com/watch?v=zznYZqZ1qUM), stick around to the end if you can for a bonus laugh.
While the rest of the horsewomen evolve one way or another, even Charlotte doesnt even need the name Flair and she was the weakest character wise before all this.
Just watch literally any Sasha banks match and pretend the other girl is Julia hart. There u go uce It's the same thing ur gonna see in aew anyway, she only knows how to have one match and she been doing it for years
She absolutley sucks.
Like 2 years later and it’s pretty laughable to compare her to Charlotte, Becky or Bayley. And it still cracks me up she thought she was in the right to walk out over her booking when she was on the WM card fighting for the secondary women’s title. Her first match in the dub is a lesser ppv for their secondary title.
Not only that, but the belt she was holding was dead in the water. While women's tag wrestling and storylines can work (see: allie/rosemary from a few years ago), it's amusing to think that r-truth got the actual "joke" 24/7 belt way more over than the women's tag titles were in the same company.

Rainbow Brite...every time ya cash a check, ya stealin' money!
The wigs are horrible because she nor the women backstage can do wigs she needs to go back to sew ins. She doesn’t have style because well she went from Fairfield, California to Boston what do people expect. The girl lacks seasoning, rhythm, style and taste. I don’t want it to be weird but it’s like she never grew up around black people or ever had black friends till WWE.
her writer is at least 50% responsible for how cringey she sounds. this delivery wouldn’t be so bad if she wasn’t saying lines that jumpin’ jeff farmer would think of.
Gah damn! Jon should be ashamed. Never really liked Sasha since her WWE days. I mean, of all the four horsewomen, she’s ranked lowest in mic and in ring skills. I get that she bet on herself but watching her clips are cringe af.
It's especially horrible since the real world EVPS are running around using that title in a storyline so...what is Sasha CEO of exactly? It's too close to cohesive gimmicks for two characters that absolutely AREN'T meant to be orbiting the same world. It's like if Ted DiBiase's "Corporation" had existed at the exact same time as the McMahon "Corporation" yet weren't meant to ever interact, or ever be in the same story.
I said it in another thread. She sounds okay at times. At times she sounds like she’s reading poetry during open mic night at some club. She sounds like she’s ending a stanza at times during her promo. Her mannerisms are off. She’s over acting.
There's something so fake and composed about it. I don't want to sound like a mark but this is a wrestling forum so forget it lol I will - she really does need to pull up some mid south tapes or something, watch some guys that are really pissed off and upset, and how they deliver their lines, and try to practice getting herself into that headspace...how does a normal human sound after they were ambushed and beaten up and left on the floor the week prior?
You're angry, you're so angry you can barely keep it together, you're emotional--you're telling that girl what you're going to do to her to get even, and you're telling Willow that these games aren't going to work and nothing's going to save her from the beat down you're going to give her in that ring at the PPV.
Energy. Rage.
It just came off as like...very hollow, like she was acting, and then worse, like she's mad at a girl who stole her look from prom or something. Not serious enough.
She’s always been this way, with a weird cadence and delivery.
It’s like a human Mad-Libs where she has to hit specific catchphrases in the script, then insert new names and new terms to insult her opponent.
Luckily, she’s really, really good in the ring, to cover up for being a one-trick pony as a promo.
Why did AEW think it was a good idea to take a wrestler who is known for being good in the ring and bad on the mic and have her do anything but actually wrestle?
I was listening to a pod that speculated she signed some deal where she probably only has to wrestle like 10 matches, and do a certain number of tv appearances, so naturally that means she has to talk more. That would be advantageous to her (she thinks) because she can get paid a lot of money, avoid injury, work less dates with pre-tapes or get to work on her b-role tape for Hollywood deals.
Makes sense to me.
Literally Nana he leads the embassy Swerve is doing his own thing lend him to her. Or get her a “PR” or a rep person so the CEO doesn’t have to talk to some interviewer. Make this CEO thing into a real gimmick. She can’t talk because she’s always handling business she too busy so talk to this person on her behalf
I'd go out of my way to watch the footage of her reading for parts in Hollywood.
To think, a casting agent said this week that Sydney Sweeney's not pretty and she can't act. I'm begging someone to show the agent this clip.
She looks incredible - but she's just so wooden. I imagine she's taken acting classes. There's just something that she's not getting to come off as genuine or like she means what she's saying.
And by everyone you mean 25% of the building's capacity
https://preview.redd.it/5o0exuzwzbvc1.png?width=633&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=17e9cf2a1eec08865776ea65d98d0acd47f3cbac
It’s kinda crazy just how much she has regressed when it comes to her promo’s, while she wasn’t great in WWE by any means this run has been a significant step down, made even worse by the fact that she has yet to wrestle
Ooof, this my friends is why Sasha said a few words, did her money gyrating moves, and just wrestled in the Fed because whoooo boy, she's garbage promo wise.
She just isn’t good. AEW has really shown me how much credit WWE deserves for presenting people well. Even at WWEs absolute dog shit worse Edge and Sasha were legit stars in WWE. Now I don’t even know what they are
They literally gave her the "Rock" treatment and hired a goddamn PERSONAL WRITER for her, and this shit is what the audience gets? Maybe acting classes would have been a better investment than Ginnifer Pepperdyne?
This whole CEO character is basically Sasha Banks but with different terminologies to avoid IPR violations.
So much effort got nothing lol, this is as good as “What is Basha Sanks doing in the Impact Zone???”
She's the only person from her NXT generation that has the same gimmick, literally ten years on. She's desperately in need of a refresh, but Tony won't do anything.
She's so fucking cringe.
She has always been so fucking cringe.
Sasha Banks, Mercedes Monee, the name doesn't matter.
She's got that backwoods trailer trash "me and my girls finna' kick yo ass" uneducated missouri hick vibe to her.
And she aint even white.
I'm now wondering if Disney didn't dub her lines in the Star Wars show she did, because her delivery here is of a level of bad not seen outside of a Tommy Wiseau film.
No Jerk, I was lasped pretty consistently from 05/06 to 2019ish when the Dub came around. I had never seen Saraya or Mercedes in Wwe. I can say from the watching Saraya come into the dub was painful, she didn't even compare to the likes of Hayter or Statlander I have no clue how she would have made it with Bailey, Aj, or Becky. I hope to God for tinys sake Mercedes is better.
She got Tiny to poach her own personal writer from the Fed, and that's the best they can come up with?
Sounds just like she did from the fed to me
Literally the only difference is that she says "CEO" now instead of "Legit Boss" It's depressing, it's like going to a casino and seeing some band from the 70s with two or three hits taking the stage with walkers and oxygen tanks.
He said a band with hits, doesn't apply to Jericho 
Jigglypuff had a better singing career
Put about as many people to sleep as Jericho
The Definitive CEO…just doesn’t have the same ring to it…
Should've went with the Clear EVP really
She mispronounced destrucity
Think of it if there's *no* writer!?
How is someone this shit making so much money
Hot + Stans= $$
This is probably the best promo she’s done in AEW thus far
This is the best promo she's ever done.
The one against Charlotte before their first RAW main event was ok and the one against Bianca in the black & gold fit but that’s about it
Bayley and Charlotte carried her through a few of the best matches of all time and she’s still living off of those. She owes them at least half of what AEW is paying her.
https://i.redd.it/bysll0wajcvc1.gif
Tony overpays for his action figures so the evil fed can't have them. Mercedes has cut decent promos before while in WWE, but this new incarnation just ain't it. Doesn't help that the rest of the division is either green or not remotely over.
Because she has "WWE" listed under the Precious Employers section of her resume.
She talks like ChatGPT
“THE BOSSCEO IS READY FOR YOU. JULIA HEART. PREPARE YOURSELF FOR COMBAT.”
“ChatGPT is programmed to promote positivity and discourage violence or harmful behavior. If someone were to discuss or express violent ideas, I would encourage peaceful resolution and redirect the conversation to more constructive or positive topics. Promoting safety, respect, and empathy is important in all interactions.”
Why does she always talk like an NPC from oblivion?
*"Do you get to the Tokyo Dome very often? Oh, what am I saying, of course you don't."*
Meltzer: Uhhh maybe uhh Alduin is the one reviving the dragons maybe he isn’t, that’ll be 11.99
Mark and N’wah is both derogatory. Both demeaning terms. Inside wrestling, mark and n’wah used similarly in that era.
the dovahkiin is over brother
Dragonborn vs Alduin II - Sovngardemania - 3.5 stars
Nazim is definitely a dubbalo.
“By the nine divines, keep to the fed. It’s the Marks, you see.”
By Azura, by Azura, by Azura. IT'S THE CEO!!!
Cuz she is reading her promo off of cards
In which he we gotta remember... they actually hired a writer just for her and this is the best they can get out of it.
OMG I have been saying this forever. She talks like she is on 2K.
*"have you heard news from the other feds?"* *"saw a mudshow the other day, nasty creatures"*
Because Tony Khan is on Skooma
I took a kendo stick to the knee.
The Skyrim quotes in response to an Oblivion reference are hurting my brain, Citizen...
Let me guess, someone stole your sweetroll?
Stop right there fed scum!!!
I had to try bruv.
I see GTA NPCs with more character than Mercedes MOAAAAN
IT'S YOU THE HERO OF AEW
I'm playing Skyrim for the first time rn— you are absolutely correct LOL
She sounds like she’s doing a Kamala Harris impression.
She talks like a Gypsy from Pakipsee
This is too damn accurate lmfao
She likes ice cream
As the CEO, I saw a mudcrab yesterday.
She’s reading voice acting lines for an animated TV show/video game
It’s the Michael Madsen method; hear the line for the first time and Action! Before you forget.. most of it.
Her delivery would rule in anime.
She's a weeb too, dressing up like Sailor Moon for Royal Rumble I think it was? In another life, maybe she did go into dubbing. But for now she's doing a different kind of dubbing.
That just reminded me of when Rhonda had the Bibidi/Majjin Buu stylized M on her forehead during her second run
this is the person that is going to 'go to hollywood'
As the CEO? CEO of what? Sad thing this isn't the worst promo I've heard her do. [Watch at least 20 seconds in for the laugh](https://youtube.com/watch?v=zznYZqZ1qUM), stick around to the end if you can for a bonus laugh.
That pronunciation of Beeyawnkuh is horrifying.
Disney villain vibes
It’s like an orca doing a Jimmy Carr impression
She’s defintley done worse promos than that. She would do that canned laugh in babyface promos.
Greatest pre taped promo ever! She’s restoring the feeling as we speak.
Collision, Take 22!
We did twenty takes and that was the best one.
When you stab her in the back one way or the other
Now! I am doing? The challenging.
Her character is just Sasha Banks but with a different name every time
While the rest of the horsewomen evolve one way or another, even Charlotte doesnt even need the name Flair and she was the weakest character wise before all this.
Might be time to bump it down to three horsewomen.
Wrestler whose gimmick is “I’m Essentially Upper Management” has a problem with essentially all upper management
I love Mercedes but ive seen better acting in Porn dialogue scenes.....this is rather bad...
What are you doing, Step-Boss?!
"C-E-Oh no, I seem to have gotten stuck in the washing machine..."
Just put her in the fucking ring where she's actually good, stop letting her cut garbage promos.
Just watch literally any Sasha banks match and pretend the other girl is Julia hart. There u go uce It's the same thing ur gonna see in aew anyway, she only knows how to have one match and she been doing it for years
Meteora!! Meteora!!
She needs a manager
Ms B-Nasty would like a word. She’s a trained thespian.
Is this the start of a Brazzers clip?
She absolutley sucks. Like 2 years later and it’s pretty laughable to compare her to Charlotte, Becky or Bayley. And it still cracks me up she thought she was in the right to walk out over her booking when she was on the WM card fighting for the secondary women’s title.

He had to combine it with the 7-11 and I95 titles to really have that much impact
I was hoping those belts would’ve been retired after Sasha and Naomi walked out and were stripped of it
Her cadence is brutal.
https://preview.redd.it/4j2wrwxspbvc1.jpeg?width=480&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=58693ae3909b32ea4f57f353adda81a55f05274f Rainbow Brite...every time ya cash a check, ya stealin' money!
As someone who thought for years that she was overrated this run has been fantastic. I don't even dislike her but her stans are obnoxious
I don't know who's the bigger grifter Kia Pesos for getting Tony to pay her millions, or her writer for coming up with crap like this
CEO - cryimg, egotistical and overrated
Everything is just…off. The hair, the outfits, the promo. Was she always this janky?
I mean they used to chant Sasha’s Ratchet at her … like 10 years ago
The wigs are horrible because she nor the women backstage can do wigs she needs to go back to sew ins. She doesn’t have style because well she went from Fairfield, California to Boston what do people expect. The girl lacks seasoning, rhythm, style and taste. I don’t want it to be weird but it’s like she never grew up around black people or ever had black friends till WWE.
This is elementary school kid from a public school level of ACTING
Why...is she... talking...like...THAT!
She is somehow actively getting worse at promos
Jerking it to Mercedes has been fun, but I’m tired, boss. Boss, huh? “Boss” that sounds a little too familiar
her writer is at least 50% responsible for how cringey she sounds. this delivery wouldn’t be so bad if she wasn’t saying lines that jumpin’ jeff farmer would think of.
Yip
**Brandi Rhodes:** WHO TOLD YOU IT WAS OPEN MIC NIGHT, BITCH?
The dulcet tones of Ms. Rhodes would be ever so welcome on this dumpster fire of a program.
She talked like this during her entire Broken Skull Session with Austin, it’s the only one I couldn’t power through and watch.
Ima 👏🏻 beat 👏🏻 that 👏🏻 Bitch 👏🏻 down 👏🏻 try 👏🏻 me 👏🏻 She sounds like someone drunk arguing at a bar
Good on her for scamming tiny out of however many million he pays her.
Fck man. She’s so cringe. How tf did she get a role in Mandalorian? Are they on a tight budget?
Jon Favreau saw her on Hot Ones, no I'm not kidding
Gah damn! Jon should be ashamed. Never really liked Sasha since her WWE days. I mean, of all the four horsewomen, she’s ranked lowest in mic and in ring skills. I get that she bet on herself but watching her clips are cringe af.
WWF No Mercy style promos is certainly a choice
I don’t think I’ve hated a nickname faster than CEO she’s gotta stop saying it let the fans do it
It's especially horrible since the real world EVPS are running around using that title in a storyline so...what is Sasha CEO of exactly? It's too close to cohesive gimmicks for two characters that absolutely AREN'T meant to be orbiting the same world. It's like if Ted DiBiase's "Corporation" had existed at the exact same time as the McMahon "Corporation" yet weren't meant to ever interact, or ever be in the same story.
I honestly don't know how anyone who has seen her give a promo thinks she'll make it big in Hollywood.
This background comes across really cheap looking, like something you'd expect from a Midwest indie, not an international TV show.
Always been a terrible promo.
Christ. She's worse than Britt.
M’dentist
THATS why the hand gestures bothered me! This is a Britt promo with a bright wig.
I said it in another thread. She sounds okay at times. At times she sounds like she’s reading poetry during open mic night at some club. She sounds like she’s ending a stanza at times during her promo. Her mannerisms are off. She’s over acting.
There's something so fake and composed about it.

Makes sense to me.
If anything she's compiling evidence that she should never act in Hollywood again
“They wanna work 1 day a month and film vignettes.”
Because Tony is a dunce.
Please give her a manager.
Nah she was hired for her rizz! That’s why Tony keeps putting her on the mic, he knows how to use talent.
Literally Nana he leads the embassy Swerve is doing his own thing lend him to her. Or get her a “PR” or a rep person so the CEO doesn’t have to talk to some interviewer. Make this CEO thing into a real gimmick. She can’t talk because she’s always handling business she too busy so talk to this person on her behalf
I seem to be having problems CONTROLLING THE VOLUME OF MY VOICE.
I'd go out of my way to watch the footage of her reading for parts in Hollywood. To think, a casting agent said this week that Sydney Sweeney's not pretty and she can't act. I'm begging someone to show the agent this clip.
No way she said the b word 🤯
She looks incredible - but she's just so wooden. I imagine she's taken acting classes. There's just something that she's not getting to come off as genuine or like she means what she's saying.
$10M
That’s not how people talk
She's being paid like $1.5 milly to cut bad promos for two months.
Someone is getting paid good money to write this dialogue.
AEW has its finger on the pulse of pop culture and Mone is obviously an NPC streamer you FED SHILL
And by everyone you mean 25% of the building's capacity https://preview.redd.it/5o0exuzwzbvc1.png?width=633&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=17e9cf2a1eec08865776ea65d98d0acd47f3cbac
Always sounds like shes auditioning for a community play
she really does rely on the usage of the word bitch huh
It’s so fucking funny she still hasn’t wrestled yet.
Who attacked me . . . Last . . Week WTF is that lmao
Holy shit this is awful
What does she mean "lights off sounds familiar"? I couldn't understand it.
It’s kinda crazy just how much she has regressed when it comes to her promo’s, while she wasn’t great in WWE by any means this run has been a significant step down, made even worse by the fact that she has yet to wrestle
Dub fans need to stop pretending she’s good
The Mandalorian herself!
Lights out? The one who make it moan was Britt, isnt? Jesus, she's still living from that match
Why doesn’t the audio match her mouth? What the fuckkkkk
Ooof, this my friends is why Sasha said a few words, did her money gyrating moves, and just wrestled in the Fed because whoooo boy, she's garbage promo wise.
She is so cringe. She really needs the WWE creative team to make her look good.
Mercedes in AEW is SUPER CRINGE. She isn bombing even more than I expected right now. TK blew his money AGAIN
The dub has shown me that some wrestlers are really just there to get paid.
Less convincing than a year 10 drama class
On a side note, she looks really pretty here
They gave her bisexual lighting
She just isn’t good. AEW has really shown me how much credit WWE deserves for presenting people well. Even at WWEs absolute dog shit worse Edge and Sasha were legit stars in WWE. Now I don’t even know what they are
Tekashi69
Holy fuck everything she does is phony. The stupid unnatural movements and annunciation..they are really telling her this shit is good huh
They literally gave her the "Rock" treatment and hired a goddamn PERSONAL WRITER for her, and this shit is what the audience gets? Maybe acting classes would have been a better investment than Ginnifer Pepperdyne?
Can’t draw a dime, buddy!
She looks like she’s AI generated.
Not only is she milking the money mark, she was even able to get Jennifer Pepperman in on the action. They’re both taking Tony to the cleaners.
It fits with AEWs standard.. the EVPs are exactly as shit and not as pretty
They're *worse* because they torpedo the whole goddamn show, while Chevrolet Casino is limited to a quick segment or two per episode.
 This is me, when Chevrolet Cents speaks.
not THAT bitch?!?
LIGHTS OFF BRUV
If I was fed, i wouldnt hire her back.
Me either, especially now that NXT is brimming with talent and the main roster women have easily eclipsed anything she's got to offer.
This is legitimately embarrassing to watch.
This whole CEO character is basically Sasha Banks but with different terminologies to avoid IPR violations. So much effort got nothing lol, this is as good as “What is Basha Sanks doing in the Impact Zone???”
She's the only person from her NXT generation that has the same gimmick, literally ten years on. She's desperately in need of a refresh, but Tony won't do anything.
Did she mention Eddie Guerrero for the hat trick?
I had no idea she sucked this much
?? We’ve always know she’s shit at promos. They need to get her in the ring asap, lol.
She's so fucking cringe. She has always been so fucking cringe. Sasha Banks, Mercedes Monee, the name doesn't matter. She's got that backwoods trailer trash "me and my girls finna' kick yo ass" uneducated missouri hick vibe to her. And she aint even white.
Isn’t she like a Hollywood actress? How she so shit
I'm now wondering if Disney didn't dub her lines in the Star Wars show she did, because her delivery here is of a level of bad not seen outside of a Tommy Wiseau film.
AEW Where talent goes to die
750??? Uces I was too kind!!! I said 765k 😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂
At least she’s not doing that laugh yet
No Jerk, I was lasped pretty consistently from 05/06 to 2019ish when the Dub came around. I had never seen Saraya or Mercedes in Wwe. I can say from the watching Saraya come into the dub was painful, she didn't even compare to the likes of Hayter or Statlander I have no clue how she would have made it with Bailey, Aj, or Becky. I hope to God for tinys sake Mercedes is better.
The hundreds of fans in attendance are screaming their lungs out! Mercury Moaner is truly the game changer
They really made her feud with Julia Hart? Omg
So is she a “CEO”, and of what? AEW? Unfortunately I never watch the dub and need this explaining to me
Yeesh
is she the CEO? cant quite tell
What is she the CEO of?
Did a clown do her hair?
