A number of former WWE stars have gone on to find success in AEW, and last year Mercedes Mone made her big debut with the company. Mercedes has gone one to become one of the top stars in the women’s division as she’s so far gone 15-0 throughout her run with All Elite Wrestling. While Mercedes seems to be making the most of her time in AEW, Ric Flair believes that she’s a better fit for WWE.
During a recent appearance on Busted Open Radio, Ric Flair made it clear that he thinks Mercedes would be better off in WWE when he said, “Right now, I do [think WWE is a better fit], yeah, because she doesn’t have that many good opponents over there [in AEW].”
“Does that make sense? Everybody’s good. To be in the business, you’ve got to be good, but to be great, that encompasses a whole different word. ‘Great’ and ‘good’. You know what I mean? And I truly believe she’ll end up over there [back in WWE].”
During an appearance on The Breakfast Club last year Mercedes Mone was asked about a possible WWE return, but the former WWE Women’s Champion indicated that it’s not something she’s interested in right now.
“After the way that AEW has been treating me I don’t know, I don’t think so. I feel like I have the best relationship with AEW right now and it’s legit.”
