Mercedes Mone On AEW Debut: I Felt Like ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin

Mercedes Mone continues to reflect on her AEW debut. 

Mercedes Mone made her AEW on Wednesday at AEW Dynamite Big Business, receiving a big reaction from her hometown crowd in Boston. 

Speaking to Joe Otterson of Variety, Mercedes reflected on her debut and the reaction she received. 

“It was unbelievable. I still haven’t gotten to take everything in yet, but my heart was just pounding out of my chest. Once I heard the beat drop in the music and the ‘CEO’ chants were on the screens, and then they revealed the ‘Mercedes Moné’ name, that eruption was so electric. I felt so cool. I felt like Stone Cold Steve Austin, when fans just lift up all their signs and stand up with their arms raised. I felt so cool. It was the best feeling in the world,” she said. 

Mone not only opened the show, but she ended the show by saving Willow Nightingale from Julia Hart & Skye Blue. 

Mone will be part of the March 20th episode of AEW Dynamite in Toronto.
