During an appearance on NBC10 Boston’s The Hub, Tony Khan and Mercedes Moné answered questions about the signing and the impact on the company.
The AEW President spoke to Moné’s importance to the brand, stating:
Mercedes, one of the greatest wrestlers in the world. She’s going to help bring in new audiences from all over the world. It’s such a great question, because I think not only is she going to come in as one of the faces of AEW, one of the top stars, but she’s also one of the best wrestlers, one of the most charismatic people, somebody who loves wrestling. And I’m so glad you asked, because to me Mercedes not only is somebody who loves the wrestling business, loves getting in the ring and wrestling, but loves the fans. And I think that’s what we’re all about in AEW, and I think that’s why Mercedes is perfect to be the face of AEW.
Formerly known as Sasha Banks in WWE, Moné made her AEW debut at Big Business on 3/13 with a promo to start the show, giving her thoughts on what it means to be a part of the company.
She is set to appear on Dynamite this Wednesday in Toronto, but her debut match is TBA as of this writing.
