Mercedes Mone on Britt Baker, Stephanie Vaquer & #Mercedes2Beltz

The Pop Break’s Senior Wrestling Writer Kimmy Sokol took part in the AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door 2024 Media Scrum. The event took place at the UBS Arena at Belmont Park in Elmont, NY (aka Long Island). The show was third Forbidden Door collaboration between All Elite Wrestling and New Japan Pro Wrestling (with Ring of Honor also a part of the show), but this was the first year wrestlers from Mexico’s oldest promotion CMLL and Japan’s Stardom promotion took part in the event.

In the first interview of our Forbidden Door Media Scrum Series, “The CEO” Mercedes Mone joined host Renee Paquette and AEW’s President, General Manager and Head of Creative Tony Khan at the media dais. The current TBS champion discussed her victory over Stephanie Vaquer at Forbidden Door for the New Japan Strong Women’s Title, her feelings over the Dr. Britt Baker DMD returning to “steal her moment” (and they weren’t pleasant ones), her role in women’s wrestling and more.
