Mercedes Mone’s booking at major AEW show questioned by ex-WWE name

A former WWE name recently spoke about AEW star Mercedes Mone and questioned her booking at a recent show hosted by the Jacksonville-based promotion.

Mercedes Mone is one of the biggest stars in AEW right now and is the promotion's TBS Champion, a title she's held for over 450 days. Additionally, she has eight other titles across various promotions. At Forbidden Door, The CEO defended her TBS Title in a four-way match against AEW's Alex Windsor, CMLL's Persephone, and STARDOM's Bozilla, and managed to win the bout. Recently, ex-WWE star Stevie Richards weighed in on Mone's match and questioned the promotion's decision to book her in a four-way.

On the latest episode of the Stevie Richards Show, the veteran said Mone could do a lot better than being part of a multi-person match and referred to her match at All In: Texas.

"This is the thing with Mercedes Mone, why are they booking her in a multi-person match on one of the biggest shows when she can really do a lot better? When she wrestled Toni Storm, that was a really good match on All In: Texas, right? I thought she had a breakthrough match with that," said Richards.
