Mercedes Moné defeated KAIRI to win the IWGP Women’s Championship at the NJPW Battle In The Valley pay-per-view event.
During the latest episode of his Hall of Fame podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Booker T weighed in on how NJPW should be booking Moné’s title reign henceforth. He said,
“I’m not going to bring her to Japan and, you know, spend all this money and hype to not do anything with her. Put that title on her and you know, put her in that ship, that one-man ship and send her straight to the moon … I think it’s big for New Japan to, you know, have someone like Mercedes Mone over there doing it, you know — a woman of color as well. Somebody that’s going to bring in a different feel to the show.”
