The world of professional wrestling is known for its twists and turns, and the latest rumor doing the rounds is that former WWE star Mercedes Mone could be in line to take the reins of All Elite Wrestling (AEW) in the absence of Tony Khan. According to wrestling journalist and legend Bill Apter, Mone could be the one to fill the void left by Khan, who has been absent from AEW television since being attacked by The Elite on Dynamite a few weeks back.
Speaking exclusively on Sportskeeda’s The Wrestling Time Machine, Apter suggested that Mone’s CEO moniker could become a reality, at least temporarily, as she takes charge of the company alongside the Young Bucks. This power grab, as Apter described it, could be of epic proportions, shaking up the very foundations of AEW.
Mone, a former WWE star, is set to make her AEW debut at Double or Nothing, where she will compete against Willow Nightingale for the TBS Championship. Fans have been clamoring for their match to be made the main event, and if that happens, it could be the perfect way for Mone to introduce herself to her new company.
Interestingly, Mone herself has been fueling the fire, responding to a fan’s demand for her match to be made the main event by telling them to “put pressure on Tony Khan.” Could this be more than just a clever quip? Is Mone indeed planning to take the reins of AEW, even if only temporarily?
The situation presents an intriguing scenario, with Mone’s debut match potentially serving as a launchpad for her to take charge of the company. With Khan’s absence creating a power vacuum, the path is clear for Mone to seize the opportunity and prove herself as a capable leader.
As the wrestling world waits with bated breath to see how this situation unfolds, one thing is certain – Mercedes Mone is a force to be reckoned with, and her AEW debut could be the start of something truly special. Will she take the reins of AEW, or will Khan return to reclaim his rightful place at the helm? Only time will tell.
