“Suspect is on the loose 🚨 #THECEO #FIRSTCLASS #MONÉTALKS #toykofashion”
Mone made her debut for NJPW on the 4 of January 2023, at Wrestle Kingdom 17. At the Battle in the Valley, Mercedes fka Sasha Banks defeated Kairi to win the IWGP Women’s Championship. Eventually, at the Stardom All Star Grand Queendom, Mone lost her title to Mayu Iwatani.
Meanwhile, Hyan has become one of the top female wrestlers on the independent scene, and has already competed on ROH TV, AEW, WWE, IMPACT, and more.
While she has traveled to Japan in the past to compete for Sendai Girls and WAVE, Hyan would like to step foot in a New Japan Pro-Wrestling ring.
Right now, I would say getting to New Japan,” Hyan told Jeremy Lambert & Joel Pearl on In The Weeds when asked about her career goals. “That’s a promotion that I sink my teeth into when I’m watching it. I love that style of wrestling. For the longest time, I didn’t think it was a possibility just because they weren’t using women. If you wanted to do anything equivalent to that, it would be wrestling for a Joshi promotion. Now, they are utilizing women and utilizing the top and very best women in the world. I want to be part of that. It’s a huge bucket list item for me.”
Asked who she would like to wrestle in NJPW, Hyan said, “Mercedes Mone. That’s who everyone is lining up to wrestle against. She’s my ultimate opponent right now. I would love to get in the ring with KAIRI. I’ve trained with Athena before and she told me how talented KAIRI is in the ring. I would love to get in the ring with her as well.”
