Becky Lynch Comments on Mercedes Mone’s Big Money AEW Deal – Becky Lynch has weighed in on Mercedes Mone’s contract situation with AEW, shedding light on the negotiations that took place between Mone and WWE before she ultimately signed with All Elite Wrestling.
It was revealed that talks between WWE and Mone faltered when Mone reportedly requested a salary on par with Lynch’s, leading to a breakdown in negotiations and Mone’s subsequent move to AEW.
Following Mone’s debut at AEW Big Business in Boston and her expected participation in the upcoming Dynasty pay-per-view event, reports emerged suggesting that she is among the highest-paid women in professional wrestling.
In an interview with the Orlando Sentinel regarding Mone’s contract with AEW, Lynch commended Mone for securing compensation that she believes reflects her true value.
Lynch emphasized the importance of achieving pay equity. She further emphasized the significance of financial rewards aligning with the advancements made in women’s wrestling, highlighting the need for equitable compensation for equal contributions and positions within the industry.
“I think that’s an important part, getting paid equally for the equal work and the equal position we are at right now. Women’s evolutions and revolutions are fine and well, but making sure that they equate to contracts and financial reward for these things when we are doing equal work, is hugely important.”
