From its beginnings, All Elite Wrestling has been characterized by granting its talents a great creative freedom, both in promos and in the ring. An aspect that differs greatly from the working methodology of WWE and that those who have worked for both companies quickly realize.

This is the case of Mercedes Moné, one of the most prominent wrestlers in the business, who is currently enjoying the best stage of her professional career. She explained this in a recent interview given to the Daily Star in promotion of AEW All In London.

"It has been incredible. For me, it has been very rewarding and, in a way, liberating. I have always wanted to have that feeling of being free," she declared. "I feel that this has been the stage where I have been able to perform the best, because I have the ability and the opportunity to enjoy that freedom."

Mercedes continued explaining how she has been able to prepare her own matches on the company's television programming, as well as working with other talents who do not reject her ideas and who are not afraid to approach her for fear of her discarding theirs.

"It's simply a feeling of freedom. I am very happy to be here and I hope that is reflected in my work. I think it shows in my matches, in how free I feel and how good I feel in AEW," declared "The CEO" in this regard.

Moné is part of one of the most talented women's rosters in the business. The former TBS champion has been involved in numerous rivalries with women like Kris Statlander, Toni Storm, Mina Shirakawa, or Alex Windsor, but there are still many she has not faced.

"I feel that every time I'm in the ring with one of them, they push me to the limit, because they always bring something very different and an energy that makes me think: 'Okay! I can't slow down. I can't hold back,' because they want this. I feel we have the best women's division of all time. I love stepping into the ring with all of them," she said.

Moné will face Willow Nightingale in one of the most prominent matches of AEW All In: London, where the Women's World Championship will be at stake. This is the prize that "The CEO" has had in her sights since arriving at the company. In just 24 hours, she will have the opportunity to reach the top of the division on the biggest stage possible: Wembley Stadium in London.
