Mercedes Moné took to her Mone Bag fan newsletter to discuss several topics, including being part of a Super Bowl ad with top WWE star Roman Reigns for Pizza Hut back in 2020.
Moné said, “Moné Memory-Super Bowl Memories
Shooting the Pizza Hut commercial with the one and only Roman Reigns just days before the Super Bowl!
I remember getting that call—literally two days before the big game! I was in the middle of filming The Mandalorian, and I had to scramble to get a half day off. Let me tell you, the makeup team was working at lightning speed to remove my Koska Reeves wig so I could dash to the set in LA and slip into my Sasha Banks wig. The transformation was insane, and I live for those moments when get to embody different characters!
When I finally arrived, it was game time. Roman and I got our scripts and I was just buzzing with excitement. Meeting legendary NFL players and commentators was surreal! I mean, these are icons in the sports world, Joe Buck, Troy Aikman, and the party’s host, Jimmy Johnson and here I was, sharing the screen with them! –
And then came the moment that made it all worth it—seeing myself in that Super Bowl commercial! It was a dream come true! The thrill of watching it air during one of the biggest sporting events in the world. Absolutely mind-blowing!
This experience reminded me of the magic that happens when passion meets opportunity. I’m beyond grateful for the chance to be part of something so special.”
