Mercedes Mone is currently out with an injury and although her return date is still unknown, it is being reported that she will have a big match when she is back.
Mone has been out of action since May when she suffered an injury in her match with Willow Nightingale. That match was for the inaugural NJPW Strong Women’s Championship which Nightingale won. Currently, STARDOM’s Giulia has won the belt and become the second champion.
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer is reporting that the current plans is for Mone to return and challenge Giulia for the NJPW Strong Women’s Championship. Giulia defeated Nightingale at NJPW STRONG Independence Day earlier this month. In a report from Fightful Select, Mone was supposed to becoming the inaugural champion but plans obviously shifted to Nightingale when the injury took place.
In other news on Mone, she is expected to be backstage at IMPACT’s upcoming Slammiversary event on July 15. Mike Johnson of PWInsider states that she will be in attendance to support Trinity who will be challenging Deonna Purrazzo for the IMPACT’s Knockouts Title. It has been common for both Trinity and Mone to be backstage for each other during their big moments in their respective companies.
