Mercedes Mone Evaluates Her Run in AEW, Says It’s the Best She’s Ever Felt in Her Career
– During a recent interview with Battleground Podcast, AEW star and TBS Champion Mercedes Mone evaluated her run in AEW after debuting for the company earlier this year. Below are some highlights (via Fightful):
Mercedes Mone on her AEW run so far: “I mean, my first what, seven months? It’s been amazing. Look at [these titles] behind you. Each title has its own locker. It’s amazing. It’s been the best, so far, the best so far I’ve ever felt in my career, having these matches and opportunity and just the chance to keep on growing and going and having these dreams and living old dreams.”
on becoming NJPW Strong Women’s Champion: “My biggest dream was to be in Japan, and now I’m a New Japan Strong Women’s Champion. It’s been the best so far in AEW because this is where the best wrestle, and AEW makes sure that I still have this really competitive fire in me, I still want to be the absolute best, and I feel like I’m just getting started.”
At AEW Full Gear 2024, Mercedes Mone will defend her title against former TBS Champion Kris Statlander. The event is scheduled for Saturday, November 23 at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. It will be broadcast live on pay-per-view.
