Mercedes Moné gets emotional when discussing her WWE exit.
Former IWGP Women’s Champion Mercedes Moné was a recent guest on the Kick Rocks Wrestling Podcast. When asked about the night of her WWE exit, Moné said it was the hardest decision she’s ever had to make in her life.
“That’s a big question. That’s a big, big question,” Mercedes Mone said. “I really believe in not only the universe, but I believe in myself that I believe in such a higher power of light that comes over me, okay? Something inside of me told me I needed to go do this and stand up for myself. It was a very hard decision because wrestling and WWE has been my whole life. If people don’t know, it’s been my whole life, and it’s the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make in my whole life.
“But it’s the most proudest. It’s crazy because I would not be sitting here living the best version of my life and getting to be everything I ever dreamt of. I get to be everything I ever dreamt of and more. You have no idea, and it makes me so excited because that moment changed my whole life for the better.
“I’m so thankful for that moment. I’m so proud of myself, I’m so proud of Trinity, I’m so proud of just how strong we were. Because like you said, everybody wanted to talk about it. Everybody wanted to act like they were in the room or worked there or were backstage or knew what happened or what was said. All I know is that I handled it like a CEO, like the boss that I am, with my head held up high.
“And I can’t say nothing but amazing things to WWE. I’m so thankful for the career that they gave me. The fans that they gave me, the life that they gave me, the dreams that they gave me. So many dreams, and I got to chase and live them all. And now I get to do so much more. And I know I’m going to be back there one day, so it’s not over. Like I said, I have a lot of unfinished business in wrestling in a lot of places.”
Mercedes Moné will reportedly make her All Elite Wrestling debut this Wednesday night at AEW Dynamite: Big Business.
