The comment appears to reference a pattern of WWE securing talent and collaborations that were reportedly in AEW\’s sights. Two notable examples stand out: WWE\’s recent signing of Stephanie Vaquer following her acclaimed match with Moné at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door, and their collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion, who was reportedly in talks with AEW before WWE announced her \”Neva Play\” as SmackDown\’s new theme song.
These developments have sparked discussion within the wrestling community about the competitive dynamics between the two major promotions in their pursuit of both wrestling and mainstream talent.
Moné\’s tweet garnered significant engagement with over 183,000 views, suggesting widespread interest in her perspective on the industry\’s talent acquisition landscape.
