Mercedes Moné has been very decorated since joining AEW. She is currently a double champion with both the TBS Championship and the NJPW STRONG Women’s Championship in her possession. She may now be eyeing up the top title in AEW, held by Mariah May. Moné and May haven’t crossed paths in the ring just yet.
While speaking to Uproxx, Mone articulated –
“I am super proud to watch from afar. She came in as a super fan, just loving wrestling, loved it so much that she moved from England to Japan, trained out in Stardom just to hone her craft, and now she’s here. She is our women’s world champion, beating Toni Storm in one of the best storylines in women’s history. So to see her rise this fast and to see how good she is in the ring, it’s so incredible. Like I said, we have the best women’s division in the game right now. I’m definitely looking at the title that she has around her waist.”
Moné commented on the AEW women’s division as a whole –
“(I knew) where I wanted to be and what I want to leave in professional wrestling, to take this women’s division to whole new heights all over the world,” Moné says.
“I wanted to have more for women’s wrestling, so I knew going to AEW was the place to be to make that happen. I feel like the women’s division has really changed the game. The women’s division has been the best it’s ever been. The women’s storylines are headlining AEW pay-per-views. So it’s just been amazing to come this far and I’m really excited for more.”
Moné will defend the TBS Championship against former champion Kris Statlander at Full Gear.
