Mercedes Moné will compete at NJPW Resurgence taking place on May 9. While her opponent hasn’t been confirmed, the current NJPW Strong Women’s Champion joins the growing lineup for the event.

NJPW continues to build the card which now features Moné alongside Japanese wrestling legend Hiroshi Tanahashi, who is also scheduled to appear in action. Additionally, the company has announced the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship will be defended at the show.
