Mercedes Mone announced for NJPW Resurgence

The CEO will be back in NJPW in May at Resurgence. NJPW announced Tuesday that Strong Women’s Champion Mercedes Mone will be in action at their Resurgence event in Ontario, California on Friday, May 9. An opponent for Mone has not been announced for the event. Mone currently holds AEW’s TBS Championship, plus the RevPro Undisputed British Women’s Championship, winning the latter from Mina Shirakawa at Wrestle Dynasty in the Tokyo Dome in January. That was also Mone’s most recent NJPW appearance. Already set for the Resurgence show is an IWGP World Heavyweight title match. Hirooki Goto currently holds the IWGP World title after dethroning Zack Sabre Jr. for the title at The New Beginning in Osaka earlier this month. Last year’s Resurgence event was headlined by Jon Moxley defending the IWGP World title against Shota Umino in the main event, and Gabe Kidd winning the NJPW Strong Openweight title from Eddie Kingston in the semi-main.
