Mercedes Mone comments on the state of the women's division in AEW.
Mercedes Mone has racked up accolades since joining AEW starting with a special episode of AEW Dynamite built around her debut in March. Since debuting, Mercedes has won the AEW TBS Championship and NJPW Strong Women's Championship.
Writing for The Independent, Mercedes commented on the women's division and differences between AEW and WWE.
"The women’s division here is something special, and I love seeing it progress and grow. I remember seeing the current women’s champion, Toni Storm, back when she was in WWE. Back then she was so shy and introverted – now every week I’m glued to my set like I’m 10 again, waiting to see what Timeless Toni does next. Or Mariah May, who came into this business a superfan like me, and is taking over (a little like me, too). Or Willow Nightingale, who I beat for my TBS Championship – she’s just starting out, but she’s going to be huge.
"The difference between the two companies is night and day. In WWE you have no idea what you’ll be doing week to week, but here I have space to be heard. Along with Tony Khan and with my friend and personal writer Jennifer Pepperman, there’s time to sit down and really plan out the kinds of stories we want to tell. I’m treated with genuine respect, and I really feel seen in a way I sometimes haven’t before. I love it so much here."
Mercedes is set to defend her AEW TBS Championship at AEW All In against Britt Baker.
