00:00Welcome back to TMZ sports.
00:07I am your host Mojo Mutati and I'm joined by someone who has the heaviest
00:12shoulders in the game coming in with not one but two titles.
00:18The one and the only Mercedes Monday, my good friend.
00:25What's up, my friend?
00:28Well, I'm hyped up.
00:29You got me hyped up because you are riding an absolute heater right now.
00:34You just got back from London for all in AEW's biggest show of the year.
00:41And that's where I'm going to start because last year you were there.
00:45You were watching though, scouting out your next move.
00:48You know, you had a lot going on still do but this year there you are
00:52defending the championship.
00:55Talk about the transition, how the match went.
00:58I got to hear about it.
01:00Oh man.
01:00I mean, I just got back from London on a Monday and just like you said
01:04last year.
01:05I didn't even walk into that arena.
01:06I was crutching myself into the arena trying to determine what was my
01:10next step in professional wrestling?
01:12Where am I going to go?
01:13Where am I supposed to be?
01:14And after watching all in last year, I knew that AEW was the place to
01:18be for me this past Sunday.
01:20I walked out and over 54,000 people and defended my TBS championship
01:25against the DMD Britt Baker.
01:27It was absolutely incredible.
01:29The crowd is electric and I can't wait to do it all again next year at
01:33AEW All-In in Dallas.
01:35I got to talk about my favorite part of your match this weekend and
01:40I'm biased because we're friends but that entrance was absolutely
01:45insane with the three dogs with you that you took all the way to London.
01:52Everyone thinks it was my dogs, but I didn't get to take, you know,
01:55Koji, Bugs Bunny and Ryu because that's a 10-hour travel day and they
01:58can't hold in their pee-pee that long.
02:01So I had to rent a dog from the Royal Palace from the Queen of
02:05Sentence herself.
02:07The dog's names were Snowden, Jam and Honey and they were the cutest
02:11little corgis ever.
02:12They honestly stole the show and almost stole my spotlight altogether,
02:16but it was the best entrance of my career thus far.
02:19It was so amazing.
02:20I got to take this back just a little bit because I got to join you on
02:25this trip, which was unbelievable.
02:27But we went out to Tokyo for the Crunchyroll Anime Awards.
02:32We were sitting with Meg Thee Stallion, got to party with her all night.
02:37The thing that was the craziest to me is she was excited to see you.
02:40She's been a big fan of yours for a very long time.
02:43I know you guys have been friends and, you know, talked back and forth
02:46about maybe getting her inside of a ring and doing some stuff there.
02:50I mean, one, talk about your love for anime and being out there for the
02:54Crunchyroll Awards, but two, Meg Thee Stallion, got to hear more about it.
02:58I mean, going out to Japan anytime is the best, but to go with my friends
03:02aka you, we had the greatest time ever.
03:05We had, what?
03:06We went to Michelin restaurants.
03:07We went to the craziest, coolest bar ever and had the best drinks, but
03:12to sit next to Meg Thee Stallion when she's like, hey Mercedes, I want
03:15to get a picture with you.
03:18It's really indescribable.
03:20A couple years back, me and Meg were actually supposed to do something
03:23in the ring together.
03:24So we were just rehashing that conversation, seeing where that can
03:27all play in the future.
03:29Whether that shoot's going to be my tag team partner or my opponent,
03:32we have to see, but I definitely want to get Meg Thee Stallion in the
03:35ring very, very soon one day.
03:37Oh my gosh, that would be so much fun.
03:40Your digital magazine, got to ask you about.
03:42I mean, this is a great way for the fans to keep up with you because
03:46I believe it's almost like journal style, right?
03:49I mean, this is...
03:49It really is.
03:50Yeah, it's almost become my personal journal.
03:54We call it The Money Mag, which comes out every single week.
03:58So you can go to my ex or my Instagram to get the link to subscribe
04:02to my money magazine.
04:03But yeah, every week, I just let everybody know a little bit more
04:06of the CEO and just what goes on with my week, the people that I
04:10meet, the advice that I can give to my fans and fellow wrestlers,
04:14but it's a growing online magazine.
04:16So please subscribe if you want to get a little In The Know
04:19with the CEO.
04:21There it is, In The Know with the CEO.
04:23Mercedes, I've been wondering why your traps got so jacked.
04:27Now I can see with all that gold on your shoulders, it makes all
04:30the sense in the world.
04:31Mercedes, thanks so much for joining us on TMC Sports.
04:34Thanks for having me.
