Mercedes Mone: I Always Wanted To Make Women’s Wrestling Global, It Means Everything To Inspire These Girls

Mercedes Mone is making history in AEW as the reigning AEW TBS Champion. Outside of AEW, she’s collecting title in other promotions, holding championships in RevPro, CMLL, Discovery Wrestling, and more.

At the AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door press conference, Mercedes was asked what message she would give women around the world as she continues to make history.

“I love my Krew and the people that see what I’m doing and what I’ve always wanted to do; make women’s wrestling global. Make people care about what we do. About women’s wrestling. We are the best at what we do. The greatest. I get to do that. I get to chase that, because I am the greatest and I want to be better than the greatest. I was to leave a legacy that cannot be undone. That’s what I want to do. I get to have so many opportunities and blessings thanks to AEW. I get to achieve this goal and wrestle amazing women that I never thought or believed I would ever wrestle. They are on my ass and making a name for themselves. People are talking about them. That’s what I want. I want people to know that women’s wrestling is the best and we are number one and we belong. All Elite Women are here. We are the greatest and this is the greatest women’s roster because I am the greatest TBS Champion. It means everything to inspire these girls because they are bringing it at these shows. Every time I meet one of these women, they tell me, ‘Thank you so much for your matches. It inspired me to be who I am.’ I just celebrated my ten-year anniversary of the Brooklyn match. That is the number one match that girls come up to me and say, ‘Because of that match, I’m a professional wrestler.’ Now, I get to wrestle them. It means everything to me. I can feel the inspiration. I feel it when I fight them. It is the greatest feeling in the world,” she said.

Mercedes defended her AEW TBS Title against Persephone, Bozilla, and Alex Windsor in a four-way bout at Forbidden Door.
