Mercedes Mone Reacts To “Mixed Reactions” To AEW All In Match

The TBS Champion Mercedes Mone has remarked on the reaction to her title match at AEW All In London.

One of the most highly anticipated matches going into AEW All In London this past Sunday was the TBS Title match featuring the champion Mercedes Mone and former AEW Women’s Champion Britt Baker.

Mone and Baker went on to have a competitive match featuring numerous submission attempts and nearfalls, but it was evident that the crowd wasn’t that loud for the match compared to other matches on the show. Mercedes got the win with the “Mone Maker” slam in an ending that many people called a “flat finish” because it didn’t come off that well.

While writing in her latest Mone Mag newsletter, the TBS and NJPW Strong Women’s Champion Mercedes Mone commented on what could have caused the issues in the match.

Audience Fatigue?
I’ve heard a lot of mixed reactions to my All In match with Britt. I had a really good time out there with her. I did sense some audience fatigue. It’s only natural being third to last, as the crowd had already seen over 10 matches before ours. They arrived at 5:30, and by the time we came out, it was around 9:00. That’s a long time but, at the same time, amazing because AEW really gave them their money’s worth. I could hear some DMD and CEO chants but again it’s harder in a stadium. Britt told me later, that on video you can hear crowd reactions much better and that there were more crowd reactions than we felt.

Mercedes Mone Is Looking Forward To The Future

Writing further, Mercedes Mone says it’s important to look ahead rather than focusing on the past.

Britt vs Mercedes
Is there anything I would have done differently? There is. Honestly, a lot. But I don’t ever want to go too deep into what ifs about my matches, or life for that matter. I’ll just say that I learned a lot from the match and can only grow by continuing to try new things. I maybe would have listened to my instincts more. I feel I did things that maybe were not necessarily required for that match: things I could have saved for another time. But again, little sense in looking too far back other than what we can learn and use moving forward. One thing is for sure, I can’t wait to do it all over again next year in Texas.

The next AEW pay-per-view is called All Out from Chicago and it’s taking place on September 7th.
