Tony Khan responds to Mercedes Mone.
During a recent Planet Comic Con Q&A session, Mercedes Mone was asked about a possible appearance at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door. She didn't know when the date for the show was, but said she needed to get a phone call.
When asked about her comments by Adrian Hernandez of The Bet Las Vegas & The Sporting Tribune, Tony Khan replied, "It's a very encouraging thing to hear and I have so much respect for Mercedes. She is such a great pro wrestler and certainly, one of the best in the world. Any wrestling company in the world, including AEW, is very fortunate to have Mercedes. Currently, she's the world champion for our partner New Japan Pro-Wrestling. She's a great champion for them and I'm glad she brought up Forbidden Door because that's going to be a very exciting event. Certainly, the shadow of Mercedes is looming large in New Japan Pro Wrestling right now. When AEW and New Japan clash at Forbidden Door, it will be very interesting to see what happens and certainly, she's one of her top stars in New Japan. It makes for a very interesting situation going into Forbidden Door."
Mone is the reigning IWGP Women's Champion and will defend her title at NJPW Sakura Genesis.
AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door takes place on June 25.
