In a recent interview with Evan T. Mack as part of the Kick Rocks Wrestling Podcast, Mercedes Mone discussed several topics, including her decision to walk out of WWE in May 2022 after reported issues with planned creative at a time that she was the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions alongside Naomi (aka Trinity).
“That’s a big question, that’s a big, big question, I really believe in, not only the Universe, but I believe in myself, and I believe in such a higher power of light that comes over me. Something inside of me told me I needed to go do this and stand up for myself, it was a very hard decision, because wrestling in WWE has been my whole life. If people don’t know, it’s been my whole life, and it’s the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make in my whole life, but it’s the most proudest.
It’s crazy, because I would not be sitting here, living the best version of my life and getting to be everything I’ve ever dreamt of, I get to be everything I ever dreamt of and more, you have no idea, and it makes me so excited, because that moment changed my whole life for the better.
I’m so thankful for that moment, I’m so proud of myself, I’m so proud of Trinity, I’m so proud of just how strong we were, because like you said, everybody wanted to talk about it, everybody wanted to act like they were in the room, everybody acted like they were in the room or worked there or were backstage, or knew what happened or knew what was said, but all I know is that I handled it like a CEO, like the Boss that I am with my head held up high, and I can’t say nothing but amazing things to WWE.
I’m so thankful for the career that they gave me, the fans that they gave me, the life that they gave me, the dreams that they gave me, so many dreams, I got to chase and live them all. I get to do, you know, so much more, like I said, I have a lot of unfinished business in wrestling in a lot of places.”
