Mercedes Mone has scaled the highest peaks in pro wrestling during her career, but the AEW star has discussed why winning the Women’s Championship at All In is one of her proudest moments.
Mone, in an edition of her “MoneMag,” looked back on what it meant to win the world title, having had a turbulent few years in the pro wrestling business.
“Winning the AEW Women’s World Championship meant everything to me. Three years earlier, I had been sitting at All In as a fan, unsure of where I stood in wrestling or where my career was going next. I didn’t have all the answers, but I remember watching AEW that night and knowing in my heart that it was the place for me,” Mone began. “To return to Wembley three years later and become the Women’s World Champion was something I could never have imagined unfolding quite that way.”
Mone explained that the only person she wanted to face at All In and make history with was Willow Nightingale, detailing how she broke her nose during the match. It felt like deja vu for her, as the last time she competed against Nightingale for the NJPW STRONG Women’s Championship, she broke her heel.
At All In, both stars, Mone explained, were dealing with injuries, but the duo pushed through the pain to put on a clash for the ages. After winning the title, Mone looked back on the last time she had watched All In from the stands and reflected on how she wished she could have told her past self what awaited her in the future.
“When I finally held that championship, I thought about the woman who had sat in that same building three years before, wondering what her future would look like. I wish I could go back and tell her what was waiting. One of the things that touched me most happened afterward,” she added.
Mone was excited after winning the title and was applauded by her peers backstage, and she stated that many congratulated her on the performance in the match.
