Getting out of the limelight and making a name for yourself is ain’t everyone’s cup of tea. However, former WWE superstar and NJPW’s newest signee Mercedes Mone thinks differently. Just about when everybody thought that Sasha Banks is done for, a different version of her namely Mercedes Mone marked her arrival.

She’s set to battle KAIRI for the IWGP Women’s Title at NJPW’s Battle in the Valley pay-per-view event on February 18th. For this, Mone has already anticipated a bold prophecy. According to her, fans around the world will witness the greatest women’s match in Stardom history. Just by the looks, her confidence is on cloud nine at the moment. The CEO of women’s division is just getting started and there’s a lot more for The Blueprint to do in Japan.

Legendary AEW superstar Matt Hardy, recently commented on the NJPW arrival of Mone. While speaking on the latest edition of The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy, the former showered praise over The Boss. Insisting on the fact that Mone possesses a burning desire to make it big, makes it easy for him to appreciate her. Also, Hardy said her debut in Japan and remaining the talking point for a while, is quite a big deal.

“I mean, good for her. She really bet on herself, and it’s hard for me not to appreciate that. She’s doing a great job at keeping yourself relevant, keeping yourself in the conversations. Being a huge talking point in the wrestling business and showing up in New Japan and doing what she did was a big deal.”

With the forthcoming tag-team between Jamie Hayter and Britt Baker vs. Saraya and a partner of her choosing, many were under a hard impression. In their books, Sasha Banks aka Mercedes Mone was already that mystery partner of Saraya. However, that doesn’t seems the case anymore.

The anti-diva has already chosen Toni Storm by her side and they’ll take care of business next week on Dynamite. Despite of this, some fans still believe they’re in for a massive surprise. As seen, Britt Baker dropped the word “The Boss” during her backstage promo alongside Hayter this week.

This has led everyone to reconsider whether there’s going to be a major swerve next week. It can be Toni Storm getting attacked pre-match, causing the officials to strip her out of the scheduled match. And then, Mercedes Mone shows up to even the odds to extract some HOLY SH*T! chants from the Kia Forum.
