AEW star and pro wrestling veteran Rocky Romero spoke with Fightful on a number of topics, including how he apologized to TBS Champion and NJPW Strong Women’s Champion Mercedes Moné for not messaging her regarding a CMLL event last month.
Romero said, “I know. I apologize. I saw her yesterday. I apologized to her. It was so funny. It was like 4 or 5 AM. I was in Japan. So I was doing my best, I promise. I was doing my best. It was very last second. She’s like, ‘I would love to do something.’ So I reached out to CMLL immediately and was hoping to get some kind of response back and while waiting for the response, sometimes you’re really tired and jet-lagged. I may have missed a call, but yeah, the panic that was on my face, when I woke up and to all these mixed calls, I’m sweating. I’m like, ‘What is—oh, no, no, no.’ I totally fell asleep. So, yeah, I dropped the ball. But good thing it wasn’t a major, major CMLL show. It was like an outside show and it wasn’t like Arena Mexico or something like that. But it would have been cool. So sorry, Mercedes.”
