Mercedes Mone talks about “mixed reactions” and “crowd fatigue” for her match at AEW All In

Mercedes Mone commented on her match at AEW All In and the fan feedback.

CEO competed at Wembley Stadium for the first time in her career, putting the TBS Championship on the line against Britt Baker. It was the tenth match of the night and took place directly after Will Ospreay vs. MJF. The 17.5 minute contest saw a quieter crowd than the other matches of the night.

The game also sparked mixed reactions from fans. They said that the chemistry between the players was lacking and the ending was boring.

In her Mone Mag newsletter, the TBS Champion reflected on the fight, explaining that she was aware of the reactions and that fans had seen a lot of wrestling before her fight:

“I heard a lot of mixed reactions to my all-in match with Britt. I really had a lot of fun out there with her. I sensed some crowd fatigue. It’s only natural to be third to last because the crowd had already seen over 10 matches before our match. They arrived at 5:30 p.m. and when we came out it was about 9 p.m.

That’s a long time, but it’s also amazing because AEW really gave them something. I could hear some chants from DMD and CEO, but it’s harder in a stadium. Britt told me later that you can hear the crowd reaction much better on video and that there was more crowd reaction than we felt.”

Would Mercedes Mone have changed anything?

Mone further explained that if she had the chance to go back, she would have changed things about the game, but considers it a learning experience for the future:

“Is there anything I would have done differently? There is. Honestly, a lot. But I never want to get too into the ‘what ifs’ of my matches or my life. I’m just saying that I learned a lot from the match and can only grow if I continue to try new things. I might have listened to my instincts more.

I feel like I did things that maybe weren’t necessary for this game: things I could have saved for another time. But there’s also not much point in looking too far back in time, other than what we can learn from it and use for the future. One thing is for sure: I can’t wait to do it all again next year in Texas.”
