Mercedes Mone Weighs In On Possible WWE Return, Competing in MMA

Mercedes Mone may not see a WWE return or MMA fight as likely, but she won’t say 100% no in either case. The new IWGP Women’s Champion spoke with Mark Raimondi of ESPN before NJPW Battle in the Valley and was asked about both possibilities, and you can sse highlights below (per Fightful):

On if she’d consider an MMA fight: “I definitely don’t think so. No, no MMA for me. Never say never, but you can definitely see some of my Sityodtong [MMA camp] techniques in the ring. Let me see Amanda Nunes, is she ready for me?”

On a possible WWE return: “I guess people like to say ‘never say never.’ You never know in life. I never knew life would take me here, but I always have to follow my heart so wherever my heart takes me is where I’m going to go.”

On which has the better chance between a WWE return or fighting Nunes: “Probably the same chances. She’s ready to go, I’m ready to go too. I took on Ronda (Rousey), I can do it.”
