Some Within STARDOM And NJPW Aren’t Happy With Mercedes Moné’s Social Media Posts Since NJPW Debut

Sasha Banks made her NJPW debut at Wrestle Kingdom 17, where she debuted as ‘The CEO’ Mercedes Mone. She came out after KAIRI’s successful title defense against Tam Nakano. Fans were incredibly happy for Mercedes after her debut and hoped the best for Mone.

Mone is set to challenge KAIRI for the IWGP Women’s Championship. According to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, there are some people who do not want Mone to upload photos with stars from other companies.

“There were people talking because of the belief Mone has been promoting Sendai Girls and Tokyo Joshi Pro more than Stardom and the IWGP women’s title.

She posted photos from the Sendai Girls dojo saying she wanted to wrestle women that work for that promotion and Tokyo Joshi Pro. The feeling is that now that she’s with Bushiroad she (should) be only promoting Bushiroad companies in Japan.

When she was in Japan she didn’t go to any Stardom events nor go to the dojo. I don’t know that anyone expected her to, but talking about rival companies and going to the Sendai Girls dojo (it’s the company owned by Meiko Satomura) and it’s just Japanese business and it’s very likely nobody has ever explained that mentality to her.

WON

We’ll have to see if Mone will end up beating KAIRI for the title next month, as fans would love that to happen.
