AEW star Mercedes Mone recently compared WWE's WrestleMania with AEW's All In PPV event. Mone is the current TBS and NJPW Strong Women's Champion.

All In PPV has become one of the biggest events for the Jacksonville-based promotion ever since the company started holding it at Wembley Stadium in 2023. Mercedes Mone has been a part of many WrestleManias during her WWE career and will be competing in her first All In PPV event on August 25, 2024.

In her latest "Mone Mag," Mercedes Mone compared the preparations for both WrestleMania and All In and described the difference between both. The CEO explained how, before WrestleMania, the talents were involved with many press events and were in town a week before the event. Meanwhile, for All In, they move to the UK some days before the PPV.

"When you're prepping for WrestleMania, you're kind of worn down by the time you get to the big day, as each day is stacked with press and events. The big difference is that the WWE is in town for a whole week during their event, where we're not in the UK yet. I'm not sure what press and events we will be doing next week, but I'll be sure to do as much as I can to ensure this is promoted as much as possible."

She continued:

"I'm sure I'll go without sleep for part of it, but it comes with the turf. A lot of times in WWE, by the day of WrestleMania, a lot of the boys and girls would be so tired, like I said, but by match time, the adrenaline would kick in." H/T:[WrestlingInc.]

Eric Bischoff believes Tony Khan doesn't know how to book Mercedes Mone in AEW

Mercedes Mone signed with AEW in early 2024 and won the TBS Title in her in-ring debut at the Double or Nothing PPV event. She also managed to capture the NJPW Strong Women's Championship at Forbidden Door, which made her a double champion.

On his 83 Weeks podcast, WWE veteran Eric Bischoff claimed that Tony Khan doesn't know how to utilize Mercedes Mone's strengths properly. He explained how WWE used her better and bashed Tony Khan for giving her creative control.

"WWE knew how to utilize Sasha Banks' strengths, but more importantly, WWE understood her limitations and produced her around her limitations. What does Tony Khan do? He gives her the ball. He gives her creative control," said Bischoff. [H/T: WrestlingInc.]

Mercedes Mone has a big match scheduled ahead as she is set to defend the TBS Championship against Dr. Britt Baker at AEW All In. It will be interesting to see if she retains the title against the D.M.D.
