Mercedes Mon? on What 2023 Will Represent for Her, the Importance of Her NJPW In-Ring Debut

IWGP Women’s Champion Mercedes Mon? made her NJPW debut at Wrestle Kingdom 17 on January 4, then won the strap by making her NJPW in-ring debut against KAIRI at Battle In The Valley on February 18. The former Sasha Banks spoke with TMZ Sports this week, and praised KAIRI as a competitor, adding that the title win was the second favorite moment of her career.

“That day was so insane. But for it to be in San Jose, just an hour and a half away from where I was born in Fairfield, California,” Mon? said. “I had my friends and my family there. Legit — my blood family and my family in wrestling was there to support me. It was a moment that I’m always going to remember. It’s probably my second favorite moment of my career thus far and that’s saying a lot because I’ve done so much in professional wrestling. But that day was so incredible.”

Mon? also said she turns down nobody, and 2023 will be “the year of making money.”

“I wanna see who’s ready for Mercedes Mon?,” she said. “I’m always here for the check. I’m always here for the bag and whoever has the biggest bag is where I’m gonna go.”

Mon? is set to defend at NJPW’s Sakura Genesis event in Tokyo, Japan on Saturday, April 8. She has been called out by AZM, but there’s no word yet on who she will face.
