Mercedes Moné holds high regard for the guidance of Jennifer Pepperman.
All Elite Wrestling proudly announced the recruitment of ex-WWE creative mind Jennifer Pepperman in February 2024. Taking on the mantle of Vice President of Content Development, Pepperman collaborates with AEW CEO and Head of Creative, Tony Khan. They work together to develop materials for AEW’s televised offerings, which include Dynamite, Rampage, and Collision.
An established collaborative relationship exists between Pepperman and AEW’s “The CEO” Mercedes Moné, a partnership that initially blossomed back in WWE. Moné likens their synergy to a perfect pairing: “just like peanut butter and jelly.”
Reflecting on her previous experiences, Moné discussed the significant difference Pepperman made in her career. “I had writers [in WWE] who just didn’t hear my voice, had no idea how to write for me, and that was challenging for many years,” Moné recounted. She vividly remembers being moved by Pepperman’s ability to craft promos that resonated with her persona. “I work with Jennifer quite intimately,” Moné shared with the New York Post. “We collaborate on what to say. It’s not about being handed a script; it’s about speaking from the soul. Jennifer really helped me express myself.” She credits this to the unique philosophy at AEW that enables wrestlers to co-create their narratives with the writers.
A Distinct Progression Within AEW’s Women’s Division
Moné believes that Pepperman’s influence has ushered in beneficial changes throughout the entire women’s division. A notable recipient of Pepperman’s insights is Willow Nightingale. Nightingale, who Moné recently defeated for the TBS Championship, has been inspired by Pepperman to embrace her role with confidence and conviction.
