Mercedes Moné explains why KAIRI was her first choice for her first opponent in New Japan Pro Wrestling.
During a press conference following NJPW’s Wrestle Kingdom 17 event, Mercedes Mone was asked why KAIRI was her first opponent. She was quick to point out their history in the ring as the former Boss plugged their upcoming match.
“I’m interested in many wrestlers, but the reason I decided to fight KAIRI-san in the first place is because we have a ‘past.’ February 18th, San Jose, New Japan I think it will be the best match in Stardom history, so please look forward to it.”

We will have to see if Mercedes Mone is able to capture the title on February 18th in San Jose. This match could be the biggest in her career, but things are only getting started for the former Sasha Banks as she makes a name for herself, as Mercedes Mone, outside WWE.
