When questioned about her creative liberties within AEW, Mone went on to say, “I genuinely feel that AEW is a place where there’s no limit to what my dreams and opportunities could be. Of course, as the reigning TBS Champion, and with Forbidden Door happening this Sunday, I’m on the brink of being a dual champion. I’m poised to carry both the TBS Champion and the New Japan Strong Champion belts. This small but significant burst of creativity I’m exercising, collecting all the belts and gaining international recognition, is truly wonderful. I have the [championship]. I believe you need to keep a close eye every single week. Yes, I do hold creative control within AEW, but my working relationship with Tony Khan is strong and collaborative. It’s a treasured dynamic.”
When speaking about a potential WWE return, Mone revealed, “I am content with all I’ve achieved so far, and I am immensely happy. Everyone should tune in to watch Forbidden Door this Sunday live on pay-per-view, or secure their tickets via Ticketmaster.”
At the AEW X NJPW Forbidden Door 2024 event, Mone is slated to compete against NJPW Strong Women’s Champion Stephanie Vaquer in a nail biting “Winner Takes All” match.
