Mercedes Moné shared the Tokyo Dome spotlight last weekend with two of All Elite Wrestling’s brightest women’s talents.
In the latest issue of the MonéMag, Mercedes Moné wrote about the International Women’s Cup which opened last week’s Wrestle Dynasty event in the Tokyo Dome. The match featured two talents signed to All Elite Wrestling as well as representation from CMLL and New Japan.
“Momo, Persephone, Athena, and Willow all tore it up,” Mercedes Moné wrote. “It was hard to watch the whole match as I was busy applying makeup. I will watch it in its entirety the first chance I get.
“I’ll say this: when I popped my head up from doing my lashes, here is what I saw. Willow is in the best shape ever, showing a blend of speed, agility, and strength that is so rare, not to mention a charisma and charm you can’t teach. Athena is likewise strong and agile. She’s on another level. Old friend Momo, who ultimately won and rightfully won in her home country, continues to show why she harkens to Aja Kong and other Japanese legends.
“Then there is Persephone – the mystery ingredient in the secret sauce. I don’t know much about her or her work, but there is a unique mix of strength, aerial skills, and personality that I could not ignore. Let’s keep a close eye on her as well.”
Following Moné’s match with Mina Shirakawa, she was greeted with a hug backstage from both Athena and Nightingale, which meant a lot to the CEO.
“After my match, Willow and Athena tackled me with what became the most amazing three-way hug,” Mercedes Moné wrote. “It’s always nice to be celebrated by your peers. Both of them are truly special. I didn’t realize it till later, but it was inspiring to have three black women represent half the female card and the entire female card that night as women of color. Make no mistake, though. Each and every one of them proved they deserved to be there. Here’s to having even more next year.”
