Ahead of her AEW in-ring debut at Double or Nothing on Sunday, Mercedes Moné told US Weekly, she is not concerned about what is going on in other pro wrestling companies.
“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.”
Moné also told US Weekly that the “perceived beef” between AEW and WWE is mostly the work of passionate keyboard warriors.
“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.”
Moné further notes she is spearheading “a women’s global evolution.”
“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.”
Mone’s will challenge Willow Nightingale for the TBS Championship at this Sunday’s AEW Double or Nothing, live on PPV from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
