Mercedes Moné revealed how Vince McMahon‘s treatment of her on her final day made her walk out on the WWE.
On May 16th, 2022, Mercedes Moné and Naomi walked out of the WWE before Monday Night Raw. They gave little explanation, and had been booked to wrestle in a six-woman tag team match on the show.
Mercedes Moné appeared on the Breakfast Club Power 105.1 FM to promote AEW Grand Slam in New York tight. The TBS Champion revealed that she left the WWE because of the way Vince McMahon spoke to her on the day she walked out.
“I left for many different reasons. A lot of personal stuff happened with myself and the chairman at the time. I didn’t like how he talked to me and how I was, you know, just talked down to,” Moné said. “I was like, you know what, it’s time to legit listen to your soul and your heart. There was a light that came to me one day, and I just left. My guides told me, and I’m guided to being a two-time champion.”
Mercedes Mone: A Light Told Me To Walk Away And Do Something Better
Mercedes Moné continued. She said that Vince McMahon talked to her “a little crazy” on the night she walked out on Monday Night Raw.
She asked herself what she would tell if her kids if she put up with his behaviour, which encouraged her to leave WWE to join AEW.
“That day, he talked to me a little crazy.” Moné said about McMahon, the subject of a new six-part documentary on Netflix. “It was enough for my source of light to come into my body and be like, you know what, if you stay, that’s not okay. This is for the rest of your life. And what are you going to teach your kids? What are you going to teach people if you’re feeling like this from words after being here for 10 years? You’ve got to stand up for yourself, and that’s what I did.
“Just a light, the same light that came to me when I was 10 years old,” she continued. “[it told me] ‘this is your sole purpose, this is what you’re going to do.’ Another light came to me, and it was like, ‘you’ve got to walk away and do something better for yourself.’”
