If there’s one celebrity she could team up with, Mercedes Mone says it’d be none other than rapper Nicki Minaj.
While appearing on “The Breakfast Club,” Mone was asked about which celebrities she would most like to be in the ring with. She said,
“I would like my tag team partner to be Nicki Minaj because I love her. Who would I love to wrestle? I might have to wrestle like a Kim Kardashian or even just Beyoncé to see if she can even throw it down. I would wrestle Beyoncé, the queen of it all.”
She added, “I would let her [beat me up]. I would let her do that. I would let her take the championship [laughs].”
PJ Black (Justin Gabriel) was a recent guest on the “Developmentally Speaking” podcast to discuss his friendship with the late Bray Wyatt in WWE, Wyatt helping him on a character pitch, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On working on his character with Wyatt: “I feel like the older I get, the character’s evolving all the time. You have to evolve, or you get left behind. I pitch so many cool characters. I actually had a shaman character I was pitching to everybody, and WWE loved it. They were like, ‘Oh, it’s a little bit weird, it’s a little bit fringe.’ I was like, ‘Exactly, that’s the point. The character needs to ask more questions.’ Bray Wyatt was helping me out at the time, so that was the character like that. It was very esoteric, occultish. It would have been fun. I would have loved to bring that character to life. I spent so much money on the gear, and the new music, and then life happened. and the character kind of briefly appeared on The Young Bucks’ YouTube show, mixing a little potion together, and that was gonna be the start, it was gonna evolve from there, but that also didn’t go anywhere. That’s wrestling. There’s so many shows on TV these days, it’s hard to keep up with everything, and there’s so much great talent on the independent circuit and all over the world now.”
On his friendship with Wyatt: “He was one of my first friends when I moved to Florida, so we always had that strong bond, and he wanted to help. He loved that stuff. That was him. He was cool. He loved what I was doing, too. He was like, ‘You should try this,’ and try it around. I don’t know if that promo is floating around online. It came out really well, but it’s really weird. It’s kind of like the Wyatt stuff, but even a step further. People were like, ‘Huh?’ [Laughs]”
