Mercedes Moné isn’t just playing the role of CEO on AEW TV, but the TBS Champion plans on making it a reality. Speaking with Katee Sackhoff, Moné shared her desire to build her legacy in wrestling outside of the ring.
“I definitely want to help own a wrestling company one day and be the woman of change and voice of change over there for any wrestling company that wants to have me.”
Moné, who joined AEW less than a year ago, added that she has always wanted to serve as a shareholder and “be a part of helping and creating” in wrestling.
Should Moné found her own promotion, she’d join a long list of talents to make the move from competitor to promotor. In 2002, Jeff Jarrett co-founded TNA Wrestling, aware that WWE would not want to rehire him after his controversial exit in 1999. Years later, Cody Rhodes and the Elite would found AEW, the promotion Mone works for to this day.
It remains to be seen if Moné creates her own company, but in the meantime, she continues to excel in the ring as the AEW TBS Champion and NJPW Strong Women’s Champion. Next month will mark one year since her AEW debut. With her one-year anniversary looming, Mone certainly has big plans, both in and out of the ring.
