Mercedes Mone is set to appear on the upcoming episode of Dynamite. AEW President Tony Khan has announced this on his X/Twitter account.
The current TBS Champion is having a great stint in the company. She wowed the crowd when she defeated Willow Nightingale in a championship match at Double or Nothing 2024. Her signing with All Elite Wrestling in 2024 grabbed headlines. Mone, who earlier wrestled in WWE under the moniker Sasha Banks, first appeared in the Jacksonville-based company on Dynamite: Big Business. Since then, rumors exist that her contract has made her the highest-paid female wrestler.
Tony Khan recently took to Twitter to announce that Mone would be on Dynamite to talk about her Winner Takes All Champion vs Champion match at Forbidden Door 2024 against NJPW Strong Women's Champion Stephanie Vaquer.
"TOMORROW, Wed 6/26 Buffalo, NY TBS, 8pm ET/7pm CT Wednesday Night #AEWDynamite We'll hear from Champion Mercedes Moné TOMORROW on her channel! We'll hear from CEO TOMORROW on TBS before her Title-for-Title fight vs at Forbidden Door!" Tony Khan posted.

WWE veteran thinks AEW President Tony Khan overpaid for Mercedes Mone and MJF
Mercedes Mone and MJF are two of the highest-paid stars in AEW. However, former WWE writer Vince Russo thinks Tony Khan massively overpaid for both MJF and Mone.
He said as much during his conversation on Sportskeeda's The Wrestling Outlaws podcast with Dr. Chris Featherstone and EC3.
"Let's face it, him [MJF] and Rebecca De Mone [Mercedes Mone], they got three times the amount that they would have gotten in WWWE. Bro, they know what they can get out of Tony [Khan]. He's told the world, I'm a billionaire and I wanna collect toys. They know, bro, that they can get any price and he [MJF] got three times the amount. So, good for him, I hope he got 10 million dollars." [3:07 - 3:40]
It remains to be seen what the future holds for MJF and Mone in All Elite Wrestling.
