Mercedes Mone On Her AEW Creative Control
Speaking with Scott Fishman of TV Insider, Mone was asked about the rumors, which have led to some fans giving her the nickname “Mercedes Hogan.” She made it clear that she works with whoever AEW President Tony Khan books her against.
“I work with whoever Tony (Khan) wants me to work with. That’s why I’m “The CEO,” Mone said.
Praise For The AEW Women’s Division
She explained that the talent and passion of the women’s roster was a key reason she chose to sign with the company. “That’s why I came here because I watched the women, and said, “This is the place for me to be because there is so much passion and drive,” she stated.
“We legit have the greatest women’s division in all of professional wrestling. The best from Toni Storm, Athena, Kris Statlander, Willow, and I can go on and on and on,” Mone continued. “I really feel like the last year-and-a-half there has been such a shift in the energy with what we bring to AEW television. We’re getting more time, more matches and more in-depth storylines. It has been such great growth.”
Tonight, she is in the UK to defend the Undisputed British Women’s Championship against Emersyn Jayne in a Title vs. Title match for Revolution Pro Wrestling. Just two days later, on Sunday, August 24, she will defend her AEW TBS Championship at the Forbidden Door pay-per-view in a four-way match against Alex Windsor, CMLL’s Persephone, and Stardom’s Bozilla.
