To this point in 2025, the likes of Alex Windsor, Megan Bayne, and Thekla have officially come aboard to the All Elite Wrestling women’s division. Within the eyes of “The CEO” Mercedes Mone, there may be one other name greater than worthy of doing the identical.
“From Rev Pro, I’m obsessed and love Kanji,” Mone told TV Insider. “I believe she is so talented and brings something to the ring I have never really seen women do. She definitely jogs my memory of a female Zack Sabre Jr. in that she is so technical. She has such a drive and fervour for this. If I could select someone to sign here [in AEW], she can be my primary pick.”
Kanji, a former PROGRESS Women’s Champion, has significantly risen her stock in recent months, partly on account of a recent title match against Mone. Back in April, Mone successfully defended the RevPro Undisputed British Women’s Championship against Kanji at RevPro’s High Stakes event. Mone and Kanji have since joined forces as they teamed with Dani Luna to defeat the Cut Throat Collective (Alex Windsor, Nina Samuels and Safire Reed) on night two of RevPro’s thirteenth Anniversary Show. The day before, Mone bested Emersyn Jayne in a Winner Takes All Match involving the RevPro Undisputed British Women’s Championship and Discovery Wrestling Women’s Championship.
Like IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Zack Sabre Jr., Kanji has been praised for her technical in-ring work. As well as, she’s claimed championship gold in Attack, Wrestling Resurgence, House of Pain, and PROGRESS, all in her first eight years as a professional.
