The incident that occurred in May 2022 involving Mercedes Mone and Naomi is still a topic of conversation among many.
Both individuals decided to leave the WWE, where they held the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships, due to creative differences with Vince McMahon. Consequently, they were suspended and had their titles taken away until they could reach a resolution with the company. Following their departure, Mone pursued her career in NJPW/STARDOM before eventually joining AEW.
Mone replied in an interview with WFAN that acting gigs such as “The Mandalorian’ were one of the reasons she signed with AEW.
“That’s definitely a big reason why I came to AEW. Even doing The Mandalorian was pulling teeth with the WWE, to even try and get time off to film that show. Tony (Khan) says, whatever I need. If I need the private jet to go from filming in LA to coming for a show, it’s available for me.”
