Mercedes Mone reflects on AEW All In.
Mercedes Mone successfully defended her AEW TBS Championship against Britt Baker at AEW All In.
The bout was third from the top, and has received mixed feedback from fans online, and Mercedes addressed the match in her latest Mone Mag.
Audience Fatigue?
I've heard a lot of mixed reactions to my All In match with Britt. I had a really good time out there with her. I did sense some audience fatigue. It's only natural being third to last, as the crowd had already seen over 10 matches before ours. They arrived at 5:30, and by the time we came out, it was around 9:00. That's a long time but, at the same time, amazing because AEW really gave them their money's worth. I could hear some DMD and CEO chants but again it's harder in a stadium. Britt told me later, that on video you can hear crowd reactions much better and that there were more crowd reactions than we felt.Britt vs Mercedes
Is there anything I would have done differently? There is. Honestly, a lot. But I don't ever want to go too deep into what ifs about my matches, or life for that matter. I'll just say that I learned a lot from the match and can only grow by continuing to try new things. I maybe would have listened to my instincts more. I feel I did things that maybe were not necessarily required for that match: things I could have saved for another time. But again, little sense in looking too far back other than what we can learn and use moving forward. One thing is for sure, I can't wait to do it all over again next year in Texas.
Mercedes will be back in action at NJPW Capital Collision when she defends her NJPW Strong Women's Title against Momo Watanabe.
