Mercedes Mone is living a lifelong dream to wrestle in Japan with her current stint in NJPW/Stardom.

&#8220;In the United States, you’re told what to do, what to say and how to say it,&#8221; says Moné. &#8220;Here, I’m creating every single moment. I feel so free. I’ve never been this confident. And it is significant to me because I’m inspiring people to follow their dreams.&#8221;

<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
&#8220;I’m not even in my prime yet. I’m just getting started. I’m finally getting to create the magic I’ve always wanted to create. My ideas aren’t being limited and I’m not constantly hearing no or that matches are being cut short. I’m not going to hold back,&#8221; she added.

Mone is reportedly near the end of her contract with NJPW, but it’s been reported that she’s<a href="https://wrestlingworld.co/rumors/mercedes-mone-reportedly-negotiating-with-njpw-for-a-contract-extension"> negotiating to extend it </a>by at least one more match. Her upcoming defense of the IWGP Women’s title against Mayu Iwatani this Sunday is her last match on her current contract.



While Mone didn’t confirm or deny the reports that her contract is up, she did hint that she wasn’t averse to staying in Japan. Mone said that she was enjoying all aspects of her life in Japan.



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
&#8220;This has become my second home. And I’m committed to staying here to make history,&#8221; she said.
