Nic Nemeth Addresses Mercedes Mone’s AEW Payday: Expectations vs. Reality

One big thing: Nic Nemeth weighs in on Mercedes Mone’s high-profile AEW contract

Former WWE star Nic Nemeth shared his thoughts on the expectations surrounding Mercedes Mone’s reported multi-million dollar AEW contract.

Key takeaways:

• Mone’s contract is believed to be one of the highest for a woman in pro wrestling history
• Some fans feel Mone hasn’t lived up to the hype of her paycheck
• Nemeth suggests strategies for Mone to prove her worth to skeptical fans

What they’re saying:

Nemeth on “Busted Open Radio“: “You sometimes hear a football player making this much money or getting this signing bonus, and then maybe not leading the league in sacks or something like that. But when it comes to something like this, it’s so much easier to be like ‘This better be an eleven out of ten every time you’re out there.'”

Why it matters:

Mone’s high-profile signing and subsequent performances have sparked debates about value and expectations in pro wrestling. Her success or failure could impact future contract negotiations for top talent in the industry.

Nemeth’s suggestions for Mone:

• Deliver a show-stealing performance at an AEW pay-per-view
• Take a brief break from TV to reset and build anticipation for her return

The bottom line:

While Mone already looks and acts the part of “The CEO,” Nemeth believes she needs to consistently deliver in-ring performances that match her paycheck to fully win over the AEW audience.
