NJPW
Mercedes Mone has confirmed an upcoming appearance for NJPW, after winning the IWGP Women’s Championship.
The former ‘Sasha Banks’ won the gold during her return to the ring at the February 18 NJPW Battle in the Valley event.
The popular star has just revealed that she is slated to wrestle at NJPW Sakura Genesis in Tokyo, Japan on April 8.
Indicating that AZM may be her opponent for the event, Mone noted the following on TMZ Sports:
“Besides taking it on carpets, autograph signings, all over the world, I’m going to see what little promotions I can pop up to.
“I know next on my plate is April 8 in Tokyo, Japan for Sakura Genesis.
“I have a girl named AZM calling me out, so I’ve been putting the offer on the table of who is next on the list, I want to see who is ready for Mercedes Mone because I turn down to nobody.
“I’m always here for the check, I’m always here for the bag. Whoever has the biggest bag is where I’m going to go.”
AZM, the current STARDOM High Speed Champion, previously called out Mercedes Mone in a recent press conference.
NJPW has yet to confirm that AZM will be Mone’s opponent at the April 8 show.
