Mercedes Mone Says She Has Creative Control In Her Deal With AEW
Mercedes Mone calls her own shots.
Literally, apparently.
“The CEO” spoke with TMZ for an interview to promote her champion versus champion showdown tonight on pay-per-view, as she puts her TBS Championship on-the-line against Stephanie Vaquer’s NJPW STRONG Women’s Championship at the AEW & NJPW: Forbidden Door 2024 pay-per-view tonight.
Ahead of the show, Mone spoke about having creative control in AEW and working closely with company president Tony Khan behind-the-scenes.
“I feel like here at AEW, all of my dreams and opportunity is just endless,” Mone said. “So, of course, being the TBS champion and this Sunday at Forbidden Door, I’m about to be two-time champion. I’m going to be the TBS champion and the New Japan Strong Champion. So, yes, this little creativity that I have of taking all the belts and going global is beautiful.”
She added, “I mean, because I got this. I think just every single week you got to watch. Yes, I have creative control, but I work with Tony Khan very closely. So it’s great. It’s a great combo.”
AEW & NJPW: Forbidden Door 2024 emanates from the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York on Sunday, June 30.

Oh great. Someone who throws a tantrum at the thought of losing, with the ability to veto losing. Just doll her up in red and yellow.
Wonder if decisio s like this or his drug habit will have tony tank the company first?
What a joke of a company! Treating an anorexic horse-faced whiny little girl as if she’s a legend in the business!
Y’all do know this is wrestling, and it’s pre-planned…. right? While I think the decisions on who wins and loses each night should be left to the booker/owner/whoever makes the matches, just because someone has creative control doesn’t mean their word is final. Tony could simply nix the segment if she doesn’t want to do something. It’s not that big of a deal, and she will probably fail on her own anyway when the numbers don’t line up like they do for MJF segments.
