At Wrestle Kingdom 17, Mone made her grand return to the professional wrestling industry as she confronted the IWGP Women’s Champion, KAIRI. Shortly afterward, she took the latter out before challenging her for the title.
Taking to Twitter, fans had mixed reactions to Mone’s debut, with many fans criticizing her for a visible botch.
Meanwhile, others seemed elated that the former SmackDown Women’s Champion finally made her highly awaited return and debut for NJPW x STARDOM.
Check out the Twitter reactions from fans:
Mone will be in action at Battle in the Valley on February 18th in San Jose. She will aim to become the second IWGP Women’s Champion in history by dethroning KAIRI, who won the title at Historic X-Over.
This will be her first match in almost 10 months, as Sasha Banks walked out of WWE in May 2022. Fans expect The CEO to make big moves in both Japan and US against some of the biggest talents the Japanese women’s wrestling scene has to offer.
