Mercedes Moné Says She Has Creative Control In AEW

Mercedes Moné is the reigning AEW TBS Champion, heading into Forbidden Door and looking to become a double champion. Despite her run being a success on paper, her time in AEW thus far has received criticism online. Much of this criticism has been directed towards Tony Khan, but in a recent interview with TMZ Sports, Moné was asked about her creative input, to which she revealed she does in fact have some control.

"I feel like here at AEW, all of my dreams and opportunity is just endless. 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 was further asked about the aspects of creative she has input over, and she revealed that she does work closely with AEW’s Tony Khan.

“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."
