Mercedes Mone Reveals The Differences Between Wrestling In WWE & Japan

IWGP Women’s Champion Mercedes Mone recently took part in a Q&A panel at Megacon.

During the Q&A session, the former Sasha Banks opined on the differences in competing in Japan and WWE. She said,

“It’s definitely not the same. It’s so different. Besides being in a whole different country with a completely different language barrier and not understanding anything, but it’s so magical because wrestling is so universal. I don’t have to say any words. I just feel it with my emotions and the movement when I get into the ring.”

She continued, “The girls over there are legit. They’ve been training twice a day, five days a week, and this is their livelihood. The Japanese culture, they’re very strict and disciplined. That’s what I really love when I go to Japan. My match with KAIRI was so different. I was so nervous and was like, ‘Are we going to be able to understand each other?’ It’s been so magical. I’m trying to make more history in wrestling and I feel this is my chance to do it and I’m ready for more.”

Mercedes Mone vs. Mayu Iwatani for the IWGP Women’s Championship will be taking place on April 23rd.
