TBS champion Mercedes Mone wrote in her weekly newsletter that the violence from All Out, especially the main event between Hangman Page and Swerve Strickland was “tough to watch” and she has mixed emotions about it.

“When done right, that kind of stuff can tear a roof off like Daniel’s did,” Mone wrote. “However, I wouldn’t want my brother Joshua to watch stuff like that, or kids, for that matter.”

She said when she does signings, she greets all kind of different people, including children but she understands that there’s an audience that loves the extreme and the company wants to cater to them as well.

The champ champ didn’t blame AEW for the violence, and said that when you see matches this extreme, it’s the talent who usually make the call.

“While I credit talents who go to the extreme in terms of violence inflicted upon themselves for their passion and courage, I also want talent to have longevity and to graduate from this world healthy and able to function,” Mone continued. “Our bodies go through enough with all the bumps, not to mention the travel and schedule. Personally, I’m at a place career-wise where I’d like to avoid extreme matches – unless it’s a true big value add to the company.”
