Mercedes Moné Reveals the Key Differences Between AEW and WWE

Mercedes Moné on Women's Wrestling Evolution

She’s getting ready to defend her TBS championship against AEW Original Dr. Britt Baker at All In tomorrow (Aug. 25) in Wembley Stadium, but Mercedes Moné had time to pen a Comment for The Independent promoting women’s wrestling, the role she had it getting it to where it is today, AEW, and her vision for their women’s division. Entitled, How I helped women’s wrestling get the respect it deserves, Moné’s article retraces how she got into the wrestling business as a young fan and how — as Sasha Banks — she and her fellow NXT Horsewomen (Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch & Bayley) were at the forefront of change in WWE.

Key Differences Between AEW and WWE

Mercedes then discusses her present. She heaps praise on both wrestlers who will fight for the AEW Women’s World title in London this weekend, and the one with whom she had her first feud in the company: She notes that the experiences Moné describes at her previous company match up with what we often heard about working there under Vince McMahon. If you’re a regular on the wrestle web, you know that everyone still with WWE says their current situation is much different under Chief Creative Officer Paul Triple H Levesque.

• Moné implies she has more say in her booking and creative under Tony Khan compared to her WWE experience.
• She confirms that former WWE writer and current AEW Vice-President of Content Development Jen Pepperman is her “personal writer.”

Looking Ahead

Moné closes out her piece by addressing “what’s next?” with her plans and a vow to continue elevating women’s wrestling. You can read How I helped women’s wrestling get the respect it deserves in full for deeper insights.
