CEO Talk: Details On Mercedes Mone's AEW Deal

It had been going on for a bit. It can be a huge deal when a wrestler shows up in a new place. The bigger of a star that they are, the stronger of an impact they are going to have. That makes for an interesting situation as you rarely know when someone is going to make their debut. We had a better idea this week but now we know a rather important detail about what happened.

This week’s AEW Dynamite saw the debut of Mercedes Mone, who opened and closed the show. This came after weeks of speculation that Mone was on her way to the promotion. According to Fightful Select, Mone has been on the AEW payroll for two months, with some believing that the agreement was made back in December. Mone is expected to continue working with New Japan, but AEW is expected to be her priority. It is not clear when Mone will be able to return to the ring.

Mone is off to a nice start. Check out what she has done in AEW and elsewhere:

Opinion: Mone’s debut went rather well and the question now is where she goes first. She started off well and the fans certainly seemed interested in everything she was saying, so hopefully the followup is just as good. What matters is that AEW has drawn in some more interest and now we get to see what they can do with one of the bigger stars in women’s wrestling today.
