Mercedes Varnado also known in AEW and NJPW as Mercedes Moné, has officially confirmed on her Youtube channel that she has filed a divorce from her now ex-husband Sarath Ton.
“Tomorrow finally, after a long long time, I’ll be finally signing my divorce papers. And I’m excited, happy and for me I’m just ready to be free…of not being afraid —
Sarath, my ex-husband now, we have such a great relationship. He’s such an amazing, incredible guy, who I’m so thankful for. He’s another person that changed and saved my life,” Varnado said.
Varnado states that the couple had been separated since December 2020, and Ton had moved out the following month. During that time Varnado was with WWE and shooting the Mandalorian while working to main event Wrestlemania 36.
Ton is a costume designer for WWE and had notably made Varnado’s gear during her time as Sasha Banks.
The current TBS and NJPW Strong Women’s Champion concludes that she’s excited and ready to be free.
She will be facing Dr. Britt Baker at All In on August 25 and will be returning to an NJPW show on August 30.
