Update On Mercedes Mone’s Future In Japan

Following her title win over KAIRI at NJPW Battle In The Valley, Mercedes Mone is set to defend her IWGP Women’s Championship against Mayu Iwatani at STARDOM’s All Star Grand Queendom on April 23rd. It has been widely believed that this will be Mone’s final appearance in Japan, but things might not be that straightforward.

On the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer provided an update on Mercedes Mone’s future in New Japan Pro Wrestling. Revealing that discussions are underway for a potential match beyond April 23rd, Meltzer noted,

“They are in negotiations for one more match.

Her final match of her current contract is the match this coming Sunday at the Yokohama Arena against Mayu (Iwatani) for the IWGP Women’s Title, but they… I do not know if the deal is done, it was not done the last I was told, but she is in talks for one more date.

I don’t know what that date would be, I don’t know if it would be Dominion, or what exactly. So that’s where her situation is right now.”
