One AEW star has taken time to heap praise on Mercedes Moné after her return to the ring to capture gold in New Japan Pro Wrestling.
On his FTR with Dax Harwood podcast, Dax Harwood not only praised NJPW’s newest IWGP Women’s Champion Mercedes Moné, he incredibly impressed by KAIRI and the match as a whole!
Harwood said:
“You could see the emotion from curtain to curtain. You could see how much it meant to her. You could see how much it meant to KAIRI, too. This was Mercedes’ dream, for as long as I’ve known her. So watching it, I could feel the emotion. I took a picture of me watching the show this morning, and I sent it to her because I could feel what she was putting out, and that’s what you want in wrestling. You want them to feel what you’re feeling in that moment.
“I loved the match. I thought it was probably the best women’s match I’ve seen this year. They were given time, they sold everything perfectly. They started out the match with wrestling. That was such a breath of fresh air to me. But they’re both so athletically gifted that they also incorporated that athleticism into their wrestling, which I thought was flawless and seamless.”
Dax also discussed how Moné’s return to the ring reminded him of his own after departing WWE. You can read more about that by clicking here.
