Mercedes Mone On Says Rumors Of Her NJPW Deal Expiring Soon Are ‘Far From The Truth’

IWGP Women’s Champion Mercedes Mone is set to defend the title against Mayu Iwatani this weekend at STARDOM All Star Grand Queendom.

It was originally reported that her deal with NJPW would expire after the match, but it was later revealed that she had been in talks to do one more match. 

While speaking to Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, Mone talked about her contract status: 

“The rumors are so far from the truth,” she said. “If it’s not coming from me or my voice, then how does anyone else know my business? None of it is true unless it is coming from me. It’s just a reminder that I’m a conversation starter. This is my new home. I’m embracing the way of life. I’m riding the train, I’m eating the food. I’m not here for a quick second. I have a kitchen in my apartment, but when I go out, I’m eating yakiniku. It’s this amazing barbecue. I’ve been enjoying everything. The pancakes are amazing, too. This has become my second home. And I’m committed to staying here to make history.”
