Mercedes Mone (Sasha Banks) made her expected NJPW debut at Wrestle Kingdom 17 and within minutes launched a new line of merchandise on Pro Wrestling Tees.
A collection of slogan inspired t-shits and hats, including Mone’s face on a dollar, appeared the morning of January 4th, moments after her in-ring attack on IWGP Women’s Champion KAIRI.
The former Boss in WWE, made a spectacular entrance in the Tokyo Dome, showing her intent by attacking KAIRI, forcing a match between the pair to take place at NJPW Battle in the Valley on 18th February.
Show Me The Mone
With a world-wide fan base eager for Mone’s in ring return, high sales of a debut merchandise line are expected ahead of the IWGP Women’s Championship match, taking place in San Jose.
Speculation grew over the potential of seeing the former Raw & Smackdown Women’s Champion in NJPW and fans were rewarded with Mone laying out KAIRI.
Mone has not been seen in action since, as Sasha Banks, leaving WWE Raw with then Women’s Tag Team Championship partner Naomi. Reportedly walking out following a row over creative.
After being announced to the Tokyo Dome crows as the COO, Mercedes Mone appears to be using her new name in creative taglines across the front of her first t-shirt release.
Mone makes the world go round, Mo Mone Mo Problems, and Mone Talks are three of the new designs available on the Mercedes Mone store.
Chicago based Pro Wrestling Tees, ‘The Official Apparel & Merchandise Store For Mercedes Moné’, has been a go to for many independent professional wrestlers, including fellow Wrestle Kingdom competitors FTR, producing some of the biggest selling items last year.
Pro Wrestling Tees create custom stores allowing fans to support their favourite wrestlers, by releasing products including t-shirts, hoodies and micro brawlers, with all profits going to the wrestlers themselves.
