Report: Update On Mercedes Mone's Injury Status

Mercedes Moné has been out of action since May, with the former IWGP Women’s Champion suffering an ankle injury during a bout with Willow nightingale at NJPW Resurgence.

Initial fears were that Moné had suffered a break, but it was soon believed to be a severe sprain. Moné recently travelled to IMPACT Wrestling’s Slammiversary PPV in Canada on July 15 to support Trinity in her Knockouts World Championship match against Deonna Purrazzo, and a report from Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter states that the former WWE Women’s Champion was still on crutches at the event, with her foot in a walking boot.

Whilst Moné’s injury is believed to be a severe sprain this has never been confirmed, with Moné herself staying quiet on the situation. It’s not currently known when Moné will be cleared to make a return to pro-wrestling.

Moné arrived in New Japan Pro Wrestling earlier in 2023, and has wrestled five times for NJPW and STARDOM across Japan and the USA.
