Booker T backs 14-year wrestling veteran’s decision to choose AEW over WWE⁩

Booker T recently spoke about the potential arrival at AEW of a top free agent in the business. The star being discussed is Mercedes Mone.

Tony Khan's recent announcement has seemingly confirmed the signing of the former WWE Superstar. In a much anticipated proclamation, he revealed the March 13 episode of Dynamite will be "AEW Big Business." This show will be held in Boston, Mercedes Mone's listed hometown.

Speaking on Hall of Fame podcast, the WWE veteran discussed being certain about the 32-year-old star joining AEW.

"Mone is about getting that paper, baby. You know, you saw the dollar signs, right? At the end of the day, that’s what it’s all about. If Mone couldn’t make a deal with WWE and the door’s there at AEW, I mean, why not do it? I mean, that’s - how many times have I seen it, man? How many times have I said? I mean, 1,000 times more. When we talked, we was talking about Mone going to Japan, right? And that’s what Mone was going to be. That’s where she was gonna be. And how many times have I said it, da**it? If you don’t have to work in Japan, you ain’t gonna work there. If you could work right here at home, you gonna do it," said Booker T. [H/T - eWrestlingNews]
