Mercedes Mone has began moving the needle for RevPro.
At AEW x NJPW Wrestle Dynasty earlier this month, Mercedes Mone would face Mina Shirakawa in a winner take all match that had the NJPW STRONG Women's Championship and the Undisputed British Women's Championships on the line. Mone would come away with the victory and RevPro's top women's championship.
In a new interview with Tom Campbell of Cultaholic, RevPro owner Andy Quildan said that there had already been an increase of subscribers to their on demand service.
"The reality of the situation is that Mercedes wants to be a difference maker. She looks at something like Revolution Pro Wrestling and what we're achieving against all odds and wants to be a part of that, and wants to help elevate that. There's two sides in a partnership. For us, we've got this opportunity to work with a globally recognised talent who is hopefully going to bring more eyeballs on to our product. We're already seeing it, our social media numbers have gone up substantially since Mercedes Moné has won that championship belt. Our OnDemand subscribers have gone up, believe it or not, and I guess this is just her fans wanting to check out the product, so we're already starting to see that, the first step to being noticed is being mentioned. The words 'RevPro' are on a lot more wrestling fans' lips, be it positive, be it negative. I stand by the fact that you watch a Revolution Pro Wrestling show you will become a fan of Revolution Professional Wrestling. So that is absolutely perfect, it's a match made in heaven for us."
Mone is also the AEW TBS Champion, retaining her championship most recently at AEW World's End last month vs Kris Statlander.
