We’re only a few months into the year, but Mercedes Mone has already left her mark on wrestling in 2023. Back in January she made her big NJPW debut at Wrestle Kingdom, and last month she defeated Kairi to win the IWGP Women’s Championship.
During a recent Q&A session at Planet Comicon in Kansas City, Mercedes Mone talked a little bit about her goals for the year and she noted that she’s looking to defend the IWGP Women’s Championship against the best talent in the world.
“My goal this year is to really take this [title] everywhere, and to see who’s the best out there in the world… there’s so many talented women’s wrestlers that I want to have the opportunity to wrestle. I’m just waiting for them to step up to the plate and challenge Mercedes Mone. Because I’m ready to defend this, for real everywhere. So that’s that’s on my bucket list this year. And to win more titles all over the world, to keep on acting. I just signed with UTA, so just to do more, hopefully more, with The Mandalorian and Star Wars on Disney+. I hope to be a part of that family forever, because they’re just so incredible.
“I shot my first movie in October, so I’m looking forward to that coming out. But with acting, you just have to wait. Because you have to wait for like a whole year for production and for editing. So there’s going to be a lot in the future, I can’t say much. But more with that, and modeling and just keep on growing. And I just want to keep on expanding my businesses and keep on being the CEO of everything.”
Mercedes Mone also recently commented on her status for the upcoming AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door pay-per-view in June and you can get more on that here. Stay tuned for updates.
