Mercedes Mone walked out of WWE a year ago with Naomi due to creative differences with Vince McMahon.
After she got her WWE release and went to NJPW/Stardom, she has been used as a top star. Mone has gone on record by noting that at one time, she thought WWE was the big time, and she did that, so now she sets her sights on making new history in NJPW.
While speaking The Gorilla Position, Bayley, who is a longtime and close friend of Mone, was asked whether she thinks Mone would return to WWE. She revealed this is something she has pushed for every chance she gets.
“I beg her every day. It doesn’t matter where it is or it doesn’t matter how it happens, I would love to one day step back in the ring with her. Whether it’s teaming with her, whether it’s against her. Right now, I just want whatever she needs to accomplish her dreams, accomplish her goals. I’m just happy to see her happy.”
Bayley also talked about the belief among some fans that WWE isn’t doing everything it should with her.
“Well, he said it. I could be, I could be on a little more posters that could be me instead of Seth Rollins right there. But to me, I guess it’s more of I can’t worry about all that. I kind of have to do what feels good in my heart and what I feel proud of, which right now is damage control. I’m really proud that I’ve been able to bring that to fruition and be able to be a part of their big moments. WrestleMania wrestling legends. Two-time Women’s Tag Team Champions, IYO SKY being in this match for her first time, things like that is rewarding to me whether they like to see it or not. How much of an asset I am? It’s fine.”
Mone and Bayley shared the ring hundreds of times whether that be in NXT or the main roster and against each other or as a tag team. They held the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships twice together.
