Mercedes Mon just captured the Winnipeg Pro Wrestling Womens Championship, but not everyone is happy about it. A wave of criticism hit the promotion, with one fan accusing them of selling out to AEW and catering to Mons so-called belt collector gimmick. But the promotion didnt let that slidethey fired back with zero hesitation.
After Mons win, a fan slammed Winnipeg Pro Wrestling on Twitter, accusing the promotion of disrespecting its homegrown talent just to appease Mon. The fan didnt hold back, even dragging Don Callis into the mess.
The promotion clapped back with a sarcastic laugh, reminding everyone how far theyve come from small-time shows to sold-out venues.
But that wasnt enough for the critic, who doubled down and accused them of betraying their womens roster just to fit Mon into a narrative.
Winnipeg Pro Wrestling wasnt having it. They made it clear theyre still committed to their own talentand bringing in top indie stars isnt a sellout move, its strategy.
Mons presence has helped drive major attention and attendance for the company. The AEW TBS Champion has brought new eyes to the Winnipeg sceneand the promotion is standing by its choice to crown her as their womens champion. For them, this isnt about selling outits about stepping up.
Do you think Winnipeg Pro Wrestling made the right call by putting their title on Mercedes Mon? Or should they have stuck with their regular roster? Sound off in the comments..
