Mercedes Mon is making waves outside AEW by collecting championships across independent promotionsbut shes not doing it just for the love of the game. Her indie rate is steep, her conditions are locked, and theres one non-negotiable rule: she doesnt show up to lose.
Promoters are shelling out $25,000 per appearance to have Mon wrestle on their shows, and theyre not calling her in unless shes walking out with with a win. Thats not just a coincidenceits by design.
According to Sean Ross Sapp during a Fightful Select Q&A, Mons bookings are initiated by indie promotions looking to capitalize on her star power and the belt-collecting gimmick that comes with it. But the deal only gets done under specific terms.
Multiple promoters confirmed to Sapp that Mon wont work for a company unless she wins, and she doesnt demand full creative controlbecause theres no scenario where shes booked to lose.
AEW is also reportedly strict about her indie protection. Shes not allowed to take a loss outside of AEW unless she loses there first. As for her fee, that $25,000 price tag is consistent with other top-tier names/
Mercedes Mons indie run isnt just about adding gold to her collection. Its a calculated, high-value operationone where every outcome is pre-approved, and every title win is part of a bigger play.
