Tony Khan Explains Mercedes MonÃ©’s Decision To Work The Independent Scene Outside Of AEW

AEW President Tony Khan has addressed Mercedes MonÃ©â€s decision to appear in several independent promotions.

Apart from being the reigning AEW TBS Champion, Mercedes MonÃ© currently holds 11 other championships, including titles from several independent promotions. She also makes appearances for those promotions whenever necessary, and Tony Khan stated that MonÃ©â€s independent bookings outside AEW show her love for wrestling.

Speaking to Josh Martinez of Z100 New York, Tony Khan revealed that Mercedes MonÃ© was not â€œreally making moneyâ€ from her appearances on the independent promotions, and that she loves building up companies and meeting new stars.

â€œWith all the commitments Mercedes has taken on, I think itâ€s really impressive. Iâ€ve said it before and Iâ€ll say it again, that shows itâ€s not about pure greed and money for Mercedes because a lot of these places sheâ€s wrestling, Winnipeg, Canada, Denmark, theyâ€re not the highest paying places. Sheâ€s not really making money from these. She loves wrestling. She loves building up companies, she loves meeting new young stars and she really cares about the craft and the sport of wrestling.â€ [H/T: F4WOnline]

Tony Khan also addressed Chris Jerichoâ€s status with AEW and stated that the inaugural AEW World Champion is always welcome to return.

Speaking on the same interview, Tony Khan said that heâ€d welcome back Chris Jericho whenever the latter is ready.

â€œChris Jericho, talk about one of the founding figures in AEW, the very first AEW Champion. Weâ€re so grateful to Chris Jericho. And Chris Jericho is also somebody also that I would love to see back in AEW, any time. The door is always open to get Chris Jericho back in here,â€ Tony Khan said. â€œHeâ€s been busy, heâ€s been doing a lot of things, speaking of somebody whoâ€s really busy with projects, including filming and music, and somebody we have a ton of respect for. Chris Jericho is somebody weâ€d love to see any time in AEW.â€
