Ross reflected on his earlier comments about Mone, clarifying his belief that she hadnt yet reached her full potential in AEW. All I was ever saying was, we havent seen the best of her yet, he explained. Meaning that theres a significant upside to this young lady, who has a great look, great presence, and then all of sudden, on Saturday night, we saw the best of Mercedes Mone. It was very impressive.
The match showcased Mones athleticism, charisma, and ability to rise to the occasion, leaving fans eager to see whats next for the reigning AEW TBS Champion. With this performance under her belt, the sky appears to be the limit for Mone as she continues to cement her legacy in AEW.
