Mercedes Mone made her All Elite Wrestling debut this past Wednesday at AEW Dynamite: Big Business in Boston, Massachusetts. Mone received a huge ovation from the hometown fans. Mone gave an emotional speech and then stated that she had unfinished business with Willow Nightingale.
Mone came to save Nightingale from Julia Hart and Skye Blue’s attack after the main event. The broadcast ended with Mone standing tall in the ring.
In an interview with Variety, Mercedes Mone talked about fan reactions to her AEW debut. Mone stated that she felt like Stone Cold Steve Austin.
“It was unbelievable. I still haven’t gotten to take everything in yet, but my heart was just pounding out of my chest. Once I heard the beat drop in the music and the ‘CEO’ chants were on the screens, and then they revealed the ‘Mercedes Moné’ name, that eruption was so electric. I felt so cool. I felt like Stone Cold Steve Austin, when fans just lift up all their signs and stand up with their arms raised. I felt so cool. It was the best feeling in the world.”
