The celebs were out in Los Angeles last week as several wrestlers and actors gathered for a red carpet premiere of “Queen of the Ring,” a movie chronicling the life of girls’s wrestling pioneer Mildred Burke. Amongst those in attendance was AEW’s TBS Champion Mercedes Mone, who was once set to be involved within the movie before an injury sidelined her. Nevertheless, Mone found great joy in seeing in-ring peers reminiscent of Toni Storm, Kamille, and Naomi portray characters within the film.
“Let’s be real: women have at all times needed to work ten times harder than men to get noticed on this industry. And once you look back at Mildred Burke’s era—wow! It was an entire different ballgame,” Mone wrote within the “Mone Mag” newsletter. “I actually have immense respect for the trailblazers who laid the groundwork for ladies like me to construct empires on this sport. I’m beyond excited for everybody to see this movie and to proceed embracing women’s wrestling in all its glory.
“And, after all, I needed to bring the warmth on the red carpet!” Mone added, recalling her black dress and updo hair look. “Anytime there is a probability to showcase my style, I’m all in. This time, I channeled a 90s vibe with a touch of Pamela Anderson. My amazing makeup and hair artist absolutely nailed it.”
While on the respective premiere, Mone crossed paths with several AEW colleagues, including Christopher Daniels and her recent challenger Harley Cameron. Looking ahead, Mone will defend her TBS Championship against Momo Watanabe at AEW Revolution, which also emanates from LA.
