Dutch Mantell Gave His Honest Thoughts on Mercedes Mone

Mercedes Mone has been unstoppable in her AEW run so far. She has defeated almost all the top stars in the women's division. Despite going on a title-collecting spree, The CEO has often come under scrutiny from fans and critics. Recently, Jim Cornette criticized her promo work and called it "rotten." He even indicated that he wasn't a fan of her in-ring work.

Speaking on Story Time with Dutch Mantell, the former WWE manager echoed the same sentiments as Jim Cornette, stating that she is not that talented.

"Well, I'm agreeing with him. She's collecting all these belts as a backdrop, and no, she is not that talented, and forget a mic, I don't think she can talk to save her life. But that doesn't matter. She has a deal now, a deal where she doesn't really put that much expenditure in her effort in the ring," said Mantell.

It will be interesting to see who will be next in line to challenge The CEO.

According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker.
