Willow Nightingale: Mercedes Mone Has An Aura That We Have To Match

Willow Nightingale comments on Mercedes Mone coming to AEW. 

Mercedes Mone arrived to AEW on March 13 at AEW Dynamite Big Business. She was immediately linked to Willow Nightingale, who was her opponent when she suffered an ankle injury at NJPW Resurgence 2023. Mercedes bookended AEW Dynamite Big Business, opening the show with a promo, and closing it by saving Willow from Skye Blue & Julia Hart. 

Speaking to Chris Jericho on Talk Is Jericho, Willow was asked about Mercedes coming to AEW. 

“Just from her walking out and doing her entrance in her outfit, and the outfit change in the same show. She has this aura and it really makes you think, ‘Alright, I’m going to step up. If you’re going to bring this level, we have to match this aura and presence.’ I know I can. I believe in myself that I can do that. Every challenge that has been put before me in wrestling, whether I thought I could overcome it or not, I have. I’ve gotten through it,” she said. “The term game changer gets thrown around a lot in wrestling, but for us, it really is a game changer.”

Willow is set to challenge Julia Hart for the AEW TBS Championship at AEW Dynasty. 

Mercedes will challenge for the AEW TBS Title at AEW Double or Nothing.
