Mercedes Mone spoke with ESPN following her AEW arrival last week on Dynamite: Big Business.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On her reported big money AEW deal: “I mean, I’m not Mercedes Moné for no reason. Money changes everything. I’m always about that bag. Absolutely.”
On freedom in AEW: “You can do so much more in AEW — you can do everything. And for me, I want to do everything. So, this is the place for me to be, and this is the place that I call home.”
On being medically cleared from her broken ankle: “I love wrestling so much that I could not let the doctor tell me [I won’t wrestle again], I couldn’t let them say that was going to happen. I didn’t take no for an answer. And I pushed hard every single day. Rehabbing, working out, getting my mind right, meditating. Because again, I wasn’t sure when I was going to come back. I just knew that I was going to come back someday.”
