Mariah May Comments on Potential Match with Mercedes Mone in Future

A recent episode of the Casual Conversations with The Classic featured current AEW Women’s World Champion “The Glamour” Mariah May as the guest. One of the topics discussed included May’s thoughts about the potential of a match with Mercedes Mone in the future in AEW.

“I say title for title I’m not interested in this plethora of indie title she’s now running around on TV with. I don’t care and I don’t want to cover up this body. I’m interested in the world title and the TBS title because I’m in All Elite Wrestling, so I would love to hold both. Mariah Two Belts, how about that? But she kind of came in with her little MM initials, trying to steal my flame, and it hasn’t really worked out for her because I’m the world champion she’s not.”

May also gave her thoughts about her interest in a potential match and her being a fan of Mone when she was aspiring to become a wrestler.

“Yes, I was always a fan of Mercedes coming up as a wrestler. I thought she was fantastic and she does change the game and she does make history and she does push boundaries. So, she’s definitely someone I want to step in the ring with but I don’t know if people are ready for that. I don’t think they are. It’s a lot, that’s a lot of star power in one ring and I don’t think AEW women have had that so I don’t know if they’re ready.”

Jeff Jarrett Comments on Future of His AEW World Title Quest Plans After Loss to Claudio Castagnoli

A recent episode of the My World with Jeff Jarrett podcast featured co-host Jeff Jarrett giving his thoughts about the future of his AEW World Championship quest plans following his loss to Claudio Castagnoli on the January 29th AEW Dynamite show.

“Let’s back up all the way to really November, December, in the contract situation, and Jay [Lethal], my partner, he obviously stays out of my business from a legal and contractual standpoint out of respect. But when I went to him, and I said, ‘Hey man,’ because there was a little bit of, in the back of my mind, ‘Am I gonna re-sign? Am I gonna do something different?’ But once we got into negotiations, and I went to him, I said, ‘Hey man, I feel confident that we’re gonna agree on something here. Let’s talk goals.’ Jay just kind of flipped it around on me and said, ‘Hey man, what is your goal?’ I just said, ‘In a lot of ways, Jay, I’ve become more and more laser-focused on AEW gold.’ He goes, ‘That’s what I like to hear.’ He said, ‘What title?’ He assumed, I originally said it that it was AEW gold, and then we kind of got into the discussion, and I thought back on my career, and that’s how the AEW World Title, and I had a quick conversation with Karen, and I’ve had different conversations with different Hall of Famers, both in and outside of AEW, and they’re like, ‘Hey, man. It’s kind of the story of your entire career. Walked out on Vince? Oh, you’ll never be back there. Went back. Walked out on Bischoff. Oh, man, WCW will never have you back. You’re gonna go what? You’re gonna start your own wrestling company? That is insane.’ So in a lot of ways, when I’ve had to process and digest, persistence and perseverance have been just truly in so many ways maybe the single word that may describe, I don’t want to say just my career because I’m a big believer in talking to kids and sobriety, I often tell folks it ain’t easy. Nothing happens overnight, it just doesn’t. So did I take a big ass-whooping? My buddy said, not only did you take an ass-whooping, you took two. Claudio and MJF. But hey man, that is I think the life of a professional wrestler. But to be a successful one, you damn sure better persevere. So we got a lot of roadway in front of us. 11 months, I don’t know what’s gonna happen, I don’t know [how] things are gonna change. One thing’s for sure that I learned, there’s always next week. You never know what’s gonna change. Moxley may not change. There may be a new set of circumstances. There may be a new focus, there may be something in my future. I know today, and that’s all I’m really worried about. I am really, really looking forward to what’s next, but I am certain that I don’t know what’s next. I really don’t.”
