Mercedes Mone recalls advice cousin Snoop Dogg gave to her
In the recent edition of her Mone Mag newsletter, Mercedes Mone recalled a vital piece of advice she once received from her cousin Snoop Dogg.
Writing in her Mone Mag’s latest edition, Mone reflected on Dogg’s advice for her on breaking records after she expressed her thoughts on breaking Ultimo Dragon’s record.
“And I remember something that Snoop Dogg said to me: you can’t go back and watch your games because you have to get ready for your next one. You always have to be ready. You have to keep on going. There’s no time to watch the highlight reels of my life because I’m busy trying to make more.”
Holding 13 championships simultaneously a few weeks ago, after a few recent losses, Mone is now down to holding nine belts across AEW, CMLL, RevPro, ROH, and several other promotions.
Mercedes Mone recalls pitching the idea of a women’s tag-team championship to Vince McMahon
In the same edition of her Mone Mag, she recalled a past incident where she and Bayley pitched the idea of a Women’s tag-team title.
“Launching the belts at AEW reminds me of Bayley and I fighting for the WWE to create Women’s tag team titles. We were having multiple women’s matches every single week and yet we were not fighting for anything. There was no story. We were just having matches but you need titles in order to fight for something,” she wrote.
“For a year, every single week, Bayley and I knocked and waited at Vince’s door. It’s giving me goosebumps remembering it, but the first time we brought it up, we were just like, ‘Vince, we are legit having these multiple women’s matches every week. Don’t you think the women need to fight for something? There are men’s tag, men matches every single week. We can’t just be a one-woman storyline for the Raw Women’s title or the SmackDown Women’s title. Just having two girls with titles is limiting us when you have so many women in the back.’ To me, the matches didn’t make any sense or mean anything. It took Vince a whole year, but finally he said yes.”
Mone and Athena are now scheduled to challenge Harley Cameron and Willow Nightingale for the AEW Women’s Tag-Team Championships at Worlds End 2025.
