What are your opinions of the first year of Mercedes Monè's run in AEW?
I thought her run got off to a very rough start. She wasn't resonating with the fans on the mic, her matches were very pedestrian . . . and the dancing.
I think things turned around for her character when the decision was made for AEW not to take herself too seriously. In the ring, I think the turning point was the Stephanie Vaquer match. She showed that she was willing to take a bump and put other wrestlers over.
I think she has done a lot of work outside of the ring to really make people aware of the AEW product.
Honestly, when she came into AEW, I was worried that she might be a bad signing. I've changed my mind about that.
