Mercedes Mone Confirms Talks With Megan Thee Stallion

Mercedes Mone has confirmed her team held talks with Megan Thee Stallion.

On September 13th, WWE SmackDown moved to the USA Network after spending five years on Fox Sports. The move saw the show introduce a new logo and new theme music. The song in question was Neva Play by Grammy Award-winning Hip Hop star Megan Thee Stallion.

The use of the track caught many fans and industry observers by surprise given that AEW star Mercedes Mone had hinted that a collaboration was on the way.

It remains unclear as to whether Megan’s new partnership with WWE will prevent her from working with Mone in AEW.

Mercedes Mone Says She Should Have “Kept Her Mouth Shut”

Writing in the latest edition of her Mone Mag, the TBS Champion confirmed there had been talks between her team and Megan’s manager. Mone noted that the situation could be a coincidence, but claimed she was honoured, and it proved she was doing something right.

Sports Illustrated and other sources reported on conversations between my advocate Kev, and Meg’s manager, Mike B., regarding her and me doing stuff at AEW. It’s true. A few weeks ago in an interview, I made the mistake of teasing the idea, which made headlines.

More recently, it was announced that Meg would be part of the new Smackdown theme. It could all be a coincidence, of course. But then, they don’t call me the blueprint for nothing. In hindsight, I should have kept my mouth shut about it but all you can do is live and learn. I’m flattered and honored in a way, as it proves we are clearly on the right path.

While I would have loved to work with Meg and would have loved to see her work with our brand, I’m still happy for her. She’s a great person and talent who will get exposure to the vast wrestling audience. Trust in this, AEW and Team Moné have a lot more brewing so it’s all good. You all will just have to wait this time to hear about it. 😉

Mercedes Mone hasn’t wrestled since retaining her TBS Title with a win over Hikaru Shida at All Out.
