A WWE and ECW legend is convinced that Mercedes Mone will lose her title at AEW Grand Slam: Australia. Mone is set to defend her TBS Championship on Saturday.
Last Saturday on AEW Collision, Mercedes Mone accepted Harley Cameron's challenge for a TBS Championship match at Grand Slam: Australia. Ahead of the big bout, Cameron gave a music performance dedicated to Mone before delivering an emotional backstage promo on Dynamite. Tommy Dreamer recently praised the upstart's work.
On Busted Open, Dreamer said Cameron's performance felt believable and real.
"I need everybody to understand that it's listening to your audience. She is doing this not in front of a live crowd, the moment her music stopped and she then started talking, she became real. She became ascertainable, and she literally said her story again but she added another crinkle to it."
The ECW legend also said that Harley Cameron made him believe that she could beat Mercedes Mone for the TBS Title.
"Like, you know, 'Short time ago, I wasn't a great wrestler, I kinda started the same way you did Mercedes, blah blah blah.' 'But then there was also a long time ago, I didn't know how to be a ventriloquist. I didn't know how to sing, I didn't know how to play the guitar. I didn't know how to speak Chinese.' Then she speaks Chinese. And then she's like, 'It's a good thing I'm a fast learner.' Right then, and there I said, 'Hmm, this girl could actually win this.'" [0:00 - 0:51]
