Mercedes Mohn supports AEW’s potentially major policy changes.
Intergender wrestling is a popular thing on independent circuits. But both our top wrestling promotions in AEW and WWE have shunned it in modern times.
The current TBS champion was asked in a recent interview with Variety about his chances of entering the ring with a male colleague. Mone seemed enthusiastic about the possibility, saying he wanted to get into the ring with people like Swerve and Okada.
“I definitely want to have a gender match or a mixed tag match. I think people like it [Speedball] Mike Bailey, Ricochet, Swellve [Strickland]Commander, Beast Dead, [Kazuchika] Okada, there are a lot of guys I want to team up and fight. Dream matches are endless with AEW.”
AEW President Tony Kahn is generally against putting male and female competitors in the same ring in the past. During the 2019 media scrum, Khan said gender intergender wrestling is something that “probably won’t be seen in AEW.”
Still, the latest double or laptop PPV suggests at least a change in Khan’s approach to the whole. Willow Nightingale and Marina Shafir became the first women to compete in disorderly arena matches at the show, and they weren’t shy to trading with male competitors in the match.
