Mercedes Moné has actually squandered no time at all developing herself in New Japan Pro Wrestling and is the promo’s brand-new IWGP Women’s Champion.
Moné debuted for New Japan at last month’s Wrestle Kingdom occasion and instantly set her sights on Champion KAIRI.
In her very first match because leaving of WWE in May 2022, Moné dismissed KAIRI and acted heelish throughout the match.
Late into the match, Moné triggered KAIRI to mistakenly knock out the referee, however when Moné tried a table area, KAIRI reverse and put her challenger through it.
KAIRI used a cross-face on Moné, who bit her challenger to break the hold, and struck her brand-new finisher, the Moné Maker to get the win.
