Mercedes Moné, a prominent figure in AEW since her debut, recently opened up about her experience at the AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door 2024 event. During her winner-take-all match against Stephanie Vaquer, the Long Island, New York audience unexpectedly turned against her. Moné attributed the crowd’s reaction to regional sports rivalries, as they favored their local team over her hometown, Boston Celtics.
In her recent newsletter, Moné shared that the crowd’s shift initially amused her, but their energy ultimately fueled her performance. She stated, “I won’t lie, when the chants started, it had me giggling. Sillies, don’t you know it’s me who puts the boss in Boston? I love New York though, so I’ll let y’all paint me in the villain era.”
Moné emphasized that her wrestling persona, “The CEO,” is more than just a character—it’s an entire corporation with expansion plans. She teased more exciting developments to come, indicating that the unexpected crowd reaction was a turning point for her.
Following her victory, Moné was confronted by Dr. Britt Baker, DMD, who challenged her to a match at the next AEW pay-per-view, All In. Fans are eagerly anticipating this potential showdown at Wembley Stadium.
