Mercedes Moné Believes She Should Have "Kept Mouth Shut" About Working With Megan Three Stallion
Mercedes Moné is suspicious of WWE using Megan Thee Stallion for SmackDown's theme song
Friday Night SmackDown’s debut show back on the USA Network last week saw several aspects of the blue brand receive a makeover and update, such as a change to the SmackDown logo and a brand opening video package and theme song. The new song for SmackDown is ‘Neva Play’ by rapper Megan Thee Stallion.
In recent weeks, it emerged that Mercedes Moné had spoken with Megan Thee Stallion about potentially working with her in AEW, and has had some raised eyebrows at WWE coincidentally using her for SmackDown’s new music. The TBS Champion spoke on Moné Mag on this, revealing that she feels like she should have kept her mouth shut.
“Sports Illustrated and other sources reported on conversations between my advocate Kev, and Meg’s manager, Mike B., regarding her and me doing stuff at AEW. It’s true. A few weeks ago in an interview, I made the mistake of teasing the idea, which made headlines. More recently, it was announced that Meg would be part of the new Smackdown theme. It could all be a coincidence, of course. But then, they don’t call me the blueprint for nothing. In hindsight, I should have kept my mouth shut about it but all you can do is live and learn. I’m flattered and honored in a way, as it proves we are clearly on the right path. While I would have loved to work with Meg and would have loved to see her work with our brand, I’m still happy for her. She’s a great person and talent who will get exposure to the vast wrestling audience. Trust in this, AEW and Team Moné have a lot more brewing so it’s all good. You all will just have to wait this time to hear about it.”
It seems as though Moné believes any change with working the rapper is now abandoned, looking ahead to different things.
