Mercedes Moné is the talk of the wrestling world after making her All Elite Wrestling debut last night at AEW Dynamite: Big Business.
All Elite Wrestling star Mercedes Moné recently spoke with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated. When asked about signing with the company, Moné put over the women’s division as the reason she’s now All Elite.
“I want to be here, I need to be here, and it’s because of the women’s division,” Mercedes Moné said. “The women here laid the foundation. They’re the reason I want to be in AEW. We’re going to make so much magic here.”
Mercedes also stated that one of the reasons she chose All Elite Wrestling was her ability to take things global, as she would be able to compete in places like New Japan and STARDOM while contracted by the company.
“This is a global revolution,” Mercedes Moné said. “That’s why I’m here. You don’t think I can take this around the globe? Well then, let me show you I can. My heart is here. My dreams are here. I love wrestling. I’m a leader, and I’m going to lead.”
Moné kicked off AEW Dynamite: Big Business last night, much like CM Punk opened AEW Rampage: The First Dance. The former WWE Superstar felt she needed to open the show.
“F— yeah, I needed to open the show,” Mercedes Moné said. “All day, I was so full of energy. Ten minutes before the show, I was in gorilla [backstage]. I could feel the energy in the building. When my music hit, I felt the energy, and I knew I was home.
“And I’ve honestly been thinking about what I wanted to say for the past year. When I finally signed with AEW, I put even more thought into it. I decided to speak from my heart. That’s what I did, and the crowd made it so special for me. Everything started in Boston. I wouldn’t be ‘The CEO’ if it wasn’t for my time here.”
