TMZ Sports interviewed AEW TBS Champion Mercedes Mone while she was in New York City for media on Friday.
During it, Mone confirmed she has creative control over her work in AEW but works closely with AEW President Tony Khan, calling it a great combo. Here are the highlights:
On her creative freedom in AEW: “I feel like here at AEW, all of my dreams and opportunities are just endless, so of course, being the TBS Champion, and this Sunday at Forbidden Door, I’m about to be a two-time champion. I’m going to be the TBS Champion and the New Japan Strong Champion, so yes, this little creativity that I have of taking all the belts and going global is beautiful. I got this [championship]. I think just every single week you got to watch. Yes, I have AEW creative control, but I work with Tony Khan very closely, so it’s great. It’s a great combo.”
On possible WWE return: “I have everything I want right now, so I’m happy. Make sure everybody, watch this Sunday’s Forbidden Door live on pay-per-view, or come get tickets at Ticketmaster.”
The TBS Champion will take on NJPW Strong Women’s Champion Stephanie Vaquer in a title-for-title match at Forbidden Door this Sunday.
