Mercedes Mone has been an inspiration to many female professional wrestlers. She paved the way for future generations who came after her, and a former WWE star has set her sights on her for a collision she has been waiting for.
The star is Cora Jade. She was recently released from WWE and is now known as Elayna Black. Much like Mone, Jade also became a top prospect during her time in WWE's developmental territory. However, she was released by the company in May alongside many other top names.
During a recent appearance on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Jade stated that a match with Mercedes Mone is her ultimate dream match. She claimed to relate to her and Bayley the most among the Four Horsewomen and believed that the match was a real possibility now that both of the top in-ring competitors had their time in WWE.
“That’s my current dream match. I feel like her and Bayley were my favorites out of the four Horsewomen. I loved all of them, but I feel like I really, really looked up to them two specifically. I feel like I just felt the most connected to them two because Mercedes was always writing in her notebook too. And I feel like I look at her and see aspects of myself too. So to be able to wrestle her now, where we both have had our time in WWE and we’re both doing our own thing now and doing whatever we want creatively, I feel like that is the ultimate dream match.” [H/T: Chris Van Vliet.com]
