AEW TBS Champion Mercedes Moné made her in-ring return at Double or Nothing when she defeated Willow Nightingale to become the new champion. Moné spoke with TMZ Sports on a number of topics including the match and how she and Nightingale stole the show.
Moné said, “I mean, Willow’s the one that I suffered my injury with one year ago, took me out for a whole year.” “The doctor said, they’re not sure if I was gonna be back in wrestling, but I told them, no, this is my life, this is my dream. Nobody can tell me, no, I can’t do it. So I fought so hard to get back and Willow had something that I wanted and I told her that money changes everything.”
“This past Sunday at Double or Nothing, we went out there and we stole the show. We tore it out of the park. She is legit one of the best that I’ve ever been in the ring with. I definitely can’t wait to tie it in the ring with her again.”
