Mercedes Mone comments on the freedom in AEW.
Outside of the world of wrestling, Mercedes Mone has found success in the entertainment world as one of the stars of "The Mandalorian." Mone landed the deal while she was signed to WWE.
Many past WWE superstars have spoken about the difficulty to taking outside gigs or getting approval to do outside ventures, and Mercedes has enjoyed having the extra freedom in AEW.
"Ohh yes. Oh yes," she replied in an interview with WFAN when asked if there were restrictions in her contract with "the other company" where she couldn't do everything she wanted. "That's definitely a big reason why I came to AEW. Even doing The Mandalorian was pulling teeth with the WWE, to even try and get time off to film that show. Tony (Khan) says, whatever I need. If I need the private jet to go from filming in LA to coming for a show, it's available for me."
Elsewhere during the interview, Mercedes was asked about walking out of WWE. You can find her full comments by clicking here.
