Jim Cornette is furious with AEW over Mercedes Mone's recent booking

After Mercedes Mone's entertaining feud with Harley Cameron, which culminated in a match at Grand Slam: Australia, fans were excited to see a rematch between these two women. However, that is not what happened. Instead, The CEO is set to face Momo Watanabe at the upcoming Revolution Pay-Per-View.

Momo earned her shot at the TBS Championship by winning the International Women's Cup tournament at Wrestle Dynasty earlier this year. However, this storyline has upset Jim Cornette.

Speaking on his The Experience podcast, wrestling veteran Jim Cornette criticized AEW for not continuing the feud between Harley Cameron and The CEO. He claimed that no one cares about Momo Watanabe.

"They could have got something out of this flop that Mercedes has been by Harley going over the other day or at least we get a rematch, but instead, we get Mercedes and Momo Watanabe. What is the matter with these people? Why do they think that anybody's gonna give a s**t about Momo?" he said.

It will be interesting to see if Mercedes Mone will be able to retain her title at Revolution and keep her undefeated streak alive.

According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
