Big Update On Potential AEW/Mercedes Mone Plans

NJPW/AEW

Mercedes Mone may not be heading to AEW in the near future after all.

After being in attendance for the promotion’s epic All In 2023 event and it being reported that there was a working plan for the two parties to work together at some point after Mone recovered from an ankle injury, it now appears said plans are no longer in place.

That’s according to Fightful Select’s Sean Ross Sapp, who noted (via WrestlingInc) in a Q&A on Friday that “the once working plans for AEW and Mercedes are no longer working plans.”

On top of this, Sapp also revealed that he wasn’t aware of any conversations between Mone and her former employer WWE. Though the Fightful man had heard that the superstar was asking for a lot of dollar.

Mone had reportedly been “open” to showing up in the Elite company at some point (via Fightful Select), with their also being rumours before her unfortunate injury against Willow Nightingale in a NJPW contest that Mercedes would make an appearance at the 2023 Forbidden Door event.

A lot can change in a few months, though, and it now seems as though a Mone appearance on Tony Khan’s product isn’t as likely as it once was back in August.
