Mone’s decade-long stay in the Stamford-based promotion came to an unceremonious end in May last year. She was the women’s tag team champion along with Naomi at the time. The pair walked out of the promotion and were stripped of their tag titles after four days. The two had major disagreements over their booking, which was reportedly the major cause of their abrupt exit.
