Skye Blue comments on wrestling Mercedes Mone for the AEW TBS Title.
Skye Blue was fortunate enough to be Mercedes Mone's first opponent for the AEW TBS Title and Mercedes' first opponent ever on AEW TV on the May 29 AEW Dynamite.
During an interview with Fightful's Iridian Fierro for WGN Radio, Blue reflected on growing up as a fan of Mercedes during her time as Sasha Banks in WWE and just how much the match meant to her.
"I had no idea I was wrestling Mercedes and like, 17-year-old me in math class watching her matches -- like I watched her matches, Toni Storm, Ruby Soho, I never imagined that I'd be wrestling these women and I'm so beyond grateful to do it," she said. "I think the biggest thing I kind of took away is she is one of the best women's wrestlers, and I kept up and I held my own because I was beyond anxious I never imagined this match happening and to have it and to have it be the big match that it was, it was for the title and there was all this pressure to live up to it. I was honestly mind-blown that I got to do it. I feel like it was just baby steps to getting to being one of the best."
Elsewhere in this interview, Skye discussed wanting to be a part of the first-ever women's Blood & Guts bout. Read her comments here.
