AEW TBS Champion and NJPW Strong Women’s Champion Mercedes Moné took to her Mone Bag fan newsletter to discuss a number of topics, including what WWE Hall of Famer Eddie Guerrero means to her.

Moné said, “He was a beacon of hope, an embodiment of passion, and a source of inspiration that ignited the spark within me when I was just a 10-year-old girl dreaming of greatness. I wanted to be the female version of Eddie Guerrero — a powerhouse who could entertain, inspire, and uplift others through the art of wrestling.”
