Details on Mercedes Mone’s first matches in Japan

Mercedes Mone is just weeks away from wrestling her first match since May 2022 when she steps into the ring with IWGP Women’s Champion KAIRI at NJPW Battle in the Valley in San Jose on February 18.

During her debut at Wrestle Kingdom, Mone attacked the fellow former WWE star to set up the match. After she signed with NJPW, the belief has been she will work dates for both NJPW and STARDOM.

While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted that Mone is only contracted to NJPW for a few matches. She is booked for the Sumo Hall Show, NJPW Sakura Genesis on April 8th from the Ryogoku Sumo Hall, and the STARDOM show at the Yokohama Arena on April 23.

“The first Mercedes match is obviously going to be in San Jose. Mercedes will be at the Sumo Hall show, which will be her first match in Japan, and I believe her second match in Japan will be on the STARDOM show at the Yokohama Arena. Those are both in April," Meltzer stated.
