Mercedes Mone addresses the internet reports of her and rapper Megan Thee Stallion being in talks

As seen during the September 13th 2024 edition of WWE Smackdown, the song “Neva Play” by rapper Megan Thee Stallion and RM Of BTS debuted as the show’s official theme music. Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com noted that prior to the WWE deal being made, Megan had been in talks with AEW star Mercedes Mone.

In her latest newsletter, Mercedes addressed the report…

“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. ;)”
