Mercedes Mone is ready to lead.
AEW Dynamite Big Business delivered on its big tease as Mercedes Mone officially made her AEW debut. Mercedes was one of the top free agents on the market and signed with AEW shortly after negotiations with WWE reportedly fell apart at the end of December.
Mercedes has won championships everywhere she's been, and she says she plans on taking AEW to new heights.
“I want to be here, I need to be here, and it’s because of the women’s division,” Mone told Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated. “The women here laid the foundation. They’re the reason I want to be in AEW. We’re going to make so much magic here.
"This is a global revolution. That’s why I’m here. You don’t think I can take this around the globe? Well then, let me show you I can. My heart is here. My dreams are here. I love wrestling. I’m a leader, and I’m going to lead.”
Mercedes opened AEW Dynamite Big Business, addressing her hometown crowd of Boston and introducing herself as the CEO.
She closed the show by helping Willow Nightingale against Julia Hart & Skye Blue.
Elsewhere during the interview, Mercedes commented on opening the show.
