Mercedes Moné’s impact on AEW’s women’s division has been undeniable, but recent chatter about her wielding creative control in the promotion has sparked serious debate. After Moné’s claim that she has creative control, paired with her reportedly being the highest-paid female wrestler in the industry, fans began to speculate.
However, during the Fightful Select Q&A podcast, fresh details emerged that paint a different picture. When asked about the legitimacy of Moné’s supposed creative control, it was clarified that the reality is more nuanced.
“No, not really,” it was revealed. “I think it’s just reasonable influence with her saying, ‘Oh, I think this would be cool,’ but I don’t think creative control.”
Sean Ross Sapp went on to highlight that AEW has, in the past, allowed certain stars to pass on creative ideas—an approach that hasn’t always been beneficial. Yet, it was emphasized that Mercedes Moné has never been one of those individuals. Instead, she’s reportedly collaborative and focused on enhancing her role while respecting the creative process.
Mercedes Moné’s influence in AEW is undeniable, but the debate over creative control adds another layer of intrigue to her journey. Whether she’s calling shots or simply sharing ideas, one thing is clear—her presence is shaking things up in a big way.
