Mercedes Moné made her New Japan Pro Wrestling debut at the Wrestle Kingdom 17 pay-per-view event earlier this month. The former WWE Superstar was then speculated to debut for AEW as Saraya’s mystery tag partner on the January 11th episode of Dynamite. Moné never appeared on Dynamite and it was Toni Storm who tagged along with Saraya instead.
On the latest edition of his “The Hall of Fame” podcast, Booker T addressed the matter, noting that AEW has no reason to feel guilty over Mercedes not showing up on Dynamite. The promotion has no reason to be held liable for the AEW Galaxy expecting Moné’s appearance when the entire matter was based on mere speculation and primarily hyped by the fanbase. The two-time WWE Hall of Famer said,
“I feel the same exact way, man. I was going, ‘You took the words right out of my mouth!’ But that’s what the internet does, you know what I mean? Hype up something like that and make the fans feel like that’s something that you know, perhaps will happen. Not could happen, but will happen. [The] story already been written, you know what I mean, as far as a lot of those internet fans.”
“But my thing is no, I don’t think AEW has anything to look bad about, or anybody else as far as Mercedes or anybody.”
