Mercedes Mone Drops Hints About Forming New Faction After Kamille’s AEW Debut

After leaving the NWA last year, Kamille’s next career move became a topic of great speculation among fans. Although she signed with AEW months ago, she made her official debut on Dynamite this week, where she aligned herself with Mercedes Mone. Mone has since hinted at the possibility of forming a faction in AEW, suggesting exciting developments on the horizon for both herself and Kamille.

AEW Dynamite’s special “Blood and Guts” episode had a lot of great moments throughout the show. Mercedes Mone hinted at a possible match with Britt Baker at AEW All In but then declined. Just as things were heating up, Kamille made surprise attack on Baker from behind. The segment ended with Mone and Kamille standing over a defeated Britt Baker.

In her Mone Mag newsletter, Mercedes Mone expressed her enthusiasm about working with Kamille, acknowledging her impressive credentials. She mentioned Kamille’s background as a bodybuilder and her strong physique, which has garnered respect even from men. Mercedes views having Kamille as a personal bodyguard as an honor and a significant advantage.

“I can’t say I know her personally – yet. She’s a former NWA women’s champion. She’s a bodybuilder. She’s strong, and I’m definitely excited to work with her for these and many other reasons. To have a personal female bodyguard in your corner is an honor. Not to mention having someone like her who is so jacked that even guys are scared of her! What’s not to be excited about.”

Mercedes also noted that Kamille’s addition has sparked ideas about expanding her role in AEW. She mentioned that having a bodyguard like Kamille is prompting thoughts of potentially forming a faction in AEW. Mercedes emphasized that while factions are popular in wrestling, for her, it means more than just forming a group.

It would allow her to delegate in-ring responsibilities, thereby freeing up time to focus on her role as a CEO and contribute more significantly to AEW. Mercedes sees this as a way to create more opportunities for women in the industry and elevate both the women’s division and AEW on a global scale.

“Tony Khan continues to activate the CEO in me. Getting me a bodyguard has me thinking about potentially starting a faction here in AEW. Yes, we all know factions in wrestling are cool. But for me it goes even deeper. Having a group of women alongside me helps me as a CEO to grow my board. In all seriousness, having other people help inside the ring gives me more free time to be the CEO outside the ring, serving Tony and the brand in greater ways. It’s one of the reasons he brought me here and one of the reasons I came: to provide more opportunities for women and to take them, and AEW, to even higher global levels. At the end of the day, having a bodyguard and a faction creates more opportunities and jobs for women.”

AEW also kept Kamille’s debut quiet internally. Regardless, Mercedes Mone will now defend her TBS Championship against Britt Baker at AEW All In next month, so we’ll have to see if Mone ends up forming a faction before then.
