Mercedes Monae has climbed the highest heights in professional wrestling throughout her career, but the AEW star discussed why she won the Women’s Championship. All In: is one of his proudest moments.
Monet in his publicationMoneMag:“, looked back to see what it was meant winning the world titlehaving had a tumultuous few years in the professional wrestling business.
“Winning the AEW Women’s World Championship meant everything to me. Three years ago, I was sitting at All In as a fan, not knowing where I stood in wrestling or where my career was going to be. I didn’t have all the answers, but I remember watching AEW that night and knowing in my heart that this was the place for me,” began Monae. “Coming back to Wembley three years later and becoming the Women’s World Champion was something I never imagined would happen.”
Monet explained that the only person he wanted to meet 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 because the last time she competed against Nightingale for the NJPW STRONG Women’s Championship, she broke her heel.
Monae explained that both stars on All In were dealing with injuries, but the duo battled through the pain for the ages. After winning the title, Monet looked back at the last time he watched All In from the stands and reflected on how he wished he had told his past about what the future holds.
“When I finally had that championship, I thought about the woman who sat in that same building three years ago, wondering what her future would be. I wish I could go back and tell him what to expect. One of the things that touched me the most happened after that,” he added.
After winning the title, Mone was elated and applauded backstage by his peers, and he stated that many people congratulated him on his performance during the match.
