Mercedes Mone Has Been Well Received Backstage In NJPW/STARDOM

At STARDOM’s All Star Grand Queendom event on Sunday morning, Mercedes Mone dropped the IWGP Women’s Championship to Mayu Iwatani.

Mone signed with NJPW/STARDOM in January and recently extended her deal, with her next planned appearance coming at NJPW Resurgence on May 21. 

Dave Meltzer noted on Wrestling Observer Radio that Mone is very well received backstage.

“She was very well received backstage. I heard nothing, but good things, she’s really trying to fit in. No complaints about doing the job. No big league or whatever, she did not act like ‘I’m a big star’…a lot of times when American stars come to Japan, they act like they’re big stars. Less now, but in the old days, it was pretty prevalent. And she had none of that. She’s worldwide more famous than any of these women, but she did not come across like that at all. Very well received.”
