Mercedes Mone isn’t planning on leaving NJPW anytime soon.
It has recently been reported that Mercedes Mone’s NJPW deal is short term, with it expiring on April 21st. However, it does not appear that this will be the case.
Speaking to Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, Mone weighed in on the report.
“The rumors are so far from the truth,” she said. “If it’s not coming from me or my voice, then how does anyone else know my business? None of it is true unless it is coming from me. It’s just a reminder that I’m a conversation starter. This is my new home. I’m embracing the way of life. I’m riding the train, I’m eating the food. I’m not here for a quick second. I have a kitchen in my apartment, but when I go out, I’m eating yakiniku. It’s this amazing barbecue. I’ve been enjoying everything. The pancakes are amazing, too. This has become my second home. And I’m committed to staying here to make history.”
