Mariah May names the place.
In recent months, AEW Women's World Champion Mariah May and AEW TBS Champion Mercedes Mone have both expressed their interest in facing each other on multiple occasions. May recently said that she
felt slighted that Mone got more TV time than her because she thought that she was better.
Speaking with
Niko Exxtra, Mariah May was asked about Mercedes Mone and whether they were friendly with each other.
“I mean, I wouldn’t say we’re anything. We don’t share a locker room. She tried to talk smack and say she wants me to be a money shop girl, but you know what, I will because she needs the help. Because guess what? I’m a top merch seller, she’s not. We released some All In plaques from all of our matches. Mine sold out in five minutes, and last time I checked, hers is still sitting there. So clearly, people want to forget about that match, and I don’t blame them. But keep talking smack on the world champ. You know where I’m at," May said.
May later noted that she liked to talk trash about Mone, but Mercedes was a superstar, and the spotlight that she brought with her was good for the women's division. She then stated that she would love to face her.
“As much as I like to talk a bad game about Mercedes, she is a huge superstar, and she’s come into our division, she makes people talk a lot, which is what we need, and with her bringing a spotlight for herself, she gives all of us one. So I think that is very exciting, and I would love to face her," May said.
May was then asked to comment on what stage was big enough for the match, and she named AEW All In. It was not clear whether she meant AEW All In Texas or another AEW All In event in the future.
“It’s All In. It has to be All In, yeah. I think, the thing with Mercedes is she’s very versatile because she trained in Mexico and Japan. She’s been a world champ, she’s been wrestling for a long time. I lived in Japan, so I stayed there for a year and trained in the dojo. So our journeys are slightly different, but I think the styles are pretty compatible. I’m very curious about it. I kind of grew up watching her, so to step in the ring with her, that would be pretty full circle, and to destroy her the same way I did Toni Storm, well, there’s the legacy," May said.
Fightful will have
