That Was Fast: Some In AEW Reportedly "Rubbed The Wrong Way" By Mercedes Mone Comments

They aren’t happy. It can be a big deal when a new wrestler makes their debut for a promotion as you never know where it is going to go. A wrestler showing up can lead to a variety of changes, as well as giving the people involved quite a bit of excitement. At the same time, there is a chance that things might not be the same success and that might be the situation again.

Mercedes Mone made her AEW debut this week on Dynamite, following several weeks of speculation. Prior to her debut, Mone appeared on the Kick Rocks podcast, where she said that she expected to return to WWE one day. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, these comments managed to “rub a lot of people the wrong way”. There is no word on who in particular is unhappy with Mone or if she has any heat over the comments. Mone left WWE in May 2022 following issues with her creative direction.

Mone certainly had her success in WWE. Check out some of her time there:

Opinion: I can definitely see how these comments would not go so well, as it comes off like Mone is saying she’s just in AEW until she can go where she really wants to be. That isn’t the best way to look before you are coming into a new promotion and hopefully it doesn’t cause any major issues. Mone is a star who could do a lot of good things for AEW and it would be a shame for that to fall apart before it can go anywhere.
