• TBS Women’s Champion & NJPW STRONG Women’s Champion Mercedes Mone gets a lot of heat on social media these days.
TNA World Heavyweight Champion Nic Nemeth (fka Dolph Ziggler in WWE) has an idea for Mercedes.
He wants AEW to take Mone off TV for a while, in order to generate more interest in her character when she returns.
Here’s what Nemeth said on Busted Open Radio:
“Even if you cheered for them 9.5 out of 10, when [wrestlers] come back and make that return, catch you off guard, or you’re excited about the return, it becomes a 10 out of 10. That really helps the product stay fresh for everybody.”
