Mercedes Moné has been in Japan for the past few days as she was to grace the Crunchyroll Anime Awards venue in Tokyo, Japan. She was slated to host the high-profile function alongside multiple fellow anime enthusiasts, including the present-day rap gem, Megan Thee Stallion. Mone came out as Mercedes Varnado (original name), alongside Dallas Cowboys’ DeMarcus Lawrence, and presented the Anime Award for “Best Slice of Life,”. Post the award, the former WWE star took to Twitter to post a couple of gorgeous photos of herself and Megan enjoying their roles. “Only for the anime hotties krew”, The CEO wrote on Twitter referring to their fandom names.

She also had a good time with a close friend, Dean Muhtadi (FKA Mojo Rawley), and many other industry buddies.

However, Sasha Banks recently issued a direct rejection of a potential WWE signing against a challenge made by a potential WWE signee.

NJPW STRONG Women’s Champion Giulia recently wished to lock horns with Mone in a single match, stating she was aiming to defend her title against Mone ever since she attained it from Willow Nightingale back in July. In response to the challenge, Mone chose to take a dig at her old promotion.

Given WWE has expressed its interest in Giulia and she will possibly join the promotion soon, Mone’s ‘where to find’ reference made sense. However, for now, all eyes are on The CEO’s impending AEW joining.
