Mercedes Mone Turned Down Movie Role

An injury prevented Mercedes Mone from taking on an exciting opportunity.

New wrestling biopic “Queen of the Ring” was officially released on March 7. The movie charts the life and career of Mildred Burke while featuring several well-known wrestling names.

Toni Storm, Kamille, Naomi, Jim Cornette, and Britt Baker all star in the film, while Jim Ross worked as an Executive Producer.

But in traditional pro wrestling style, the LA premiere for the movie didn’t go off without some chaos as Mariah May jumped Toni Storm on the red carpet.

The movie currently has a 7.2 rating on IMDB.

Mercedes Mone Had To Turn Down “Queen Of The Ring”

Writing in the Mone Mag, the AEW star spoke glowingly about the project after attending the premiere and strutting her stuff on the red carpet. Mone also revealed that she was approached about getting involved in the movie but had to turn the pitch down due to being injured.

Before AEW Revolution, I made my way to LA for the red carpet premiere of “Queen of the Ring,” a film that tells the incredible story of Mildred Burke. It’s truly surreal for me.

A couple of years back, I was approached to be a part of this project, but unfortunately, I was sidelined due to an injury. However, seeing my girls Trinity, Toni Storm, and Kamille shine in this film fills me with so much joy.

Let’s be real: women have always had to work ten times harder than men to get noticed in this industry. And when you look back at Mildred Burke’s era—wow! It was a whole different ballgame. I have immense respect for the trailblazers who laid the groundwork for women like me to build empires in this sport. I’m beyond excited for everyone to see this movie and to continue embracing women’s wrestling in all its glory.

And, of course, you know I had to bring the heat on the red carpet! Anytime there’s a chance to showcase my style, I’m all in. This time, I channeled a 90s vibe with a touch of Pamela Anderson. My amazing makeup and hair artist absolutely nailed it!

So don’t forget to hit the theaters and catch “Queen of the Ring.”

Mercedes Mone will be back in action at Revolution when she puts her TBS Championship on the line against Momo Watanabe. Elsewhere at the event, “Timeless” Toni Storm will defend the Women’s World Title against Mariah May.

While doing press for the movie, Kamille refused to comment on her AEW future, despite going missing after being attacked by Mone back in November.
