Mercedes Mone does not view herself as being in competition with WWE. Instead, she is focused on her competition within the AEW roster.
Mone is scheduled to challenge Willow Nightingale for the AEW TBS Championship at AEW Double Or Nothing 2024 in Las Vegas.
In a recent interview with the US Weekly, Mone discussed the AEW vs. WWE war while hyping tomorrow’s title clash.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On the perceived war between AEW and WWE: “I feel like there should be no competition when it’s between companies. It just needs to be competition between the wrestlers, seeing who wants to be the main event of the show, to make the most money. I’m competing with everybody here in AEW to let them know I’m the face of the company. I’m not competing with any other company. A lot of things just trail from the Internet. People are just so in their phones. Going on the Internet and bragging and complaining and they’re not actually living in the real world. When they come out into the real world and they actually go to wrestling shows and enjoy things with wrestling fans, they know that this is all just so much fun. People just like to drag things and be mean on the Internet just to be mean on the Internet. When they come to these shows, it’s a whole different feeling.”
On her match with Nightingale at Double or Nothing: “I’m excited to wrestle and just show how much this match means to me. The women in AEW have such a huge platform and we’re ready to make a statement that women’s wrestling is the best here.”
