Mercedes Mone successfully defended her IWGP Women’s Championship against Hazuki & AZM at a recent STARDOM show.
Mone is slated to work her last match on her current Bushiroad (NJPW/STARDOM) contract deal on April 23 when she defends her title against Mayu Iwatani.
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted Mone is in talks with the promotion for a contract extension to do one more match.
“They are in negotiations for one more match. Her final match of her current contract is the match this coming Sunday at the Yokohama Arena against Mayu for the IWGP Women’s Title. I do not know if the deal is done. It was not done the last I was told, but she is in talks for one more date. I don’t know what that date would be. I don’t know if it would be Dominion or what exactly. That’s where her situation is right now,” Meltzer stated.
