Teddy Long gave his take on Mercedes Moné’s future in professional wrestling

Mercedes Moné has been sidelined with an injury since May 2023. However, rumors have suggested that she could return to WWE or sign with AEW.

According to Teddy Long, The CEO will sign with the promotion that is willing to offer her more money. On Sportskeeda Wrestling’s The Wrestling Time Machine, he said:

“I don’t know what to say like we just finished talking about the money, so I guess if WWE won’t give her what she wants and AEW does, then what is she gonna do? go where the money is.”

After departing WWE, Mercedes Moné appeared in New Japan Pro-Wrestling and World Wonder Ring Stardom. She also became the IWGP Women’s Champion by defeating Kairi Sane before dropping the title to Mayu Iwatani.

Moné’s last match was in May 2023 when she lost to Willow Nightingale in the NJPW STRONG Women’s Title tournament. Interestingly enough, Nightingale is currently signed to AEW.
