Mercedes Mone's Injury Update

Mercedes Mone, a prominent figure in NJPW, has given an update on her injury, hinting at a possible surgical intervention.

Mone sustained an ankle injury during her match against Willow Nightingale at NJPW Resurgence on May 21, where Nightingale emerged as the first NJPW STRONG Women’s Champion. The original plan was for Mone to claim the title, but an unexpected injury led to a change in the match’s outcome. Initial assessments suggested a severe sprain without a break, but recent updates indicate a potential break.

Mone’s participation in the upcoming AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door event remains uncertain due to her injury.

A recent Instagram post by Mone, showing her leg heavily bandaged and elevated, suggests she might have undergone surgery. The caption “Six days out” further fuels this speculation.
