While doing a Q&A at Planet Comicon in Kansas City, Mercedes Mone talked about a wide range of topics.
During the Q&A session, the former Sasha Banks was asked what she thought about Triple H taking over WWE creative from Vince McMahon last summer and how that made her feel since she was on the outs with WWE at the time due to creative differences. She said,
“First of all, nobody knows the story (of what happened between myself, Naomi & WWE), you don’t know the story. But you’re reading whatever you wanna read and believing whatever you wanna believe. Nobody knows the story because I haven’t said anything, and I’m not going to say anything because that’s just the classy boss that I am, the CEO. But one thing, it’s up to them, it’s up to Dakota (Kai), it’s up to everybody else to come back, that’s awesome. That’s their dream, but I went after mine which was going to Japan. You have to follow your heart and follow your soul and follow your dreams and this was always, always, always a dream of mine that I never got to accomplish. So as I’m growing in my career, I’d been in the WWE for almost 10 years, I had to have a change, I had to feel something different in my heart and my soul so I had to go after a whole new dream and a whole new chapter and a whole new destiny for me and this is what I wanted for me and this is what I wanted to make happen for me so, that’s it. This is what I’m going for, this is my dream.”
Mone was also asked whether she would be interested in appearing at the AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door II pay-per-view event on June 25. She added,
“Ooh, when is it (AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door)? Is it June? June or July? Okay. What day? I don’t know when the show is. Anybody know the date? I don’t know, we gotta see then. June’s so far. I think I could be open, July might be open but, gotta get that phone call. Gotta get that phone call from unc.”
