Mercedes Mone Comments on Her Praise of Athena Over Their Match at AEW Dynamite Spring BreakThru Show

The Boston Herald held a recent interview with Mercedes Mone. One of the topics discussed included Mone’s thoughts about her praise of Athena after their Women’s Owen Hart Foundation Cup Tournament Semifinal Round match at AEW’s Spring BreakThru show.

“I hadn’t wrestled in Boston for years, so to do it right next to Fenway and see and hear and feel this crowd — it was amazing. Once I was in the ring, I felt the crowd and lived in that moment.

Before we even locked up, I was so overwhelmed. I couldn’t even be Mercedes Mone the character — I was Mercedes Varnado, taking it all in. As the crowd was cheering, I asked myself, ‘Is this really happening?’

It was everything I wanted and more, especially to do it against Athena. Even in defeat, Athena deserves her praise. She’s too talented to be denied.”

Mone also gave her thoughts about the potential of her winning the Women’s Owen Hart Foundation Cup Tournament and facing off against Toni Storm for the AEW Women’s World Championship at All In Texas.

“I’ve never had the chance to wrestle Toni Storm in a singles match. You have no idea how badly I want that.”
